Dominion HS Choir sings holiday carols at the National Christmas Tree!
in Loudoun County will be headed downtown to perform at the National Christmas Tree in Washington,DC on Thursday, December 13th, from 8-8:30pm. We could not be more thrilled to have local students from a Northern Virginia school sing at such a nationwide celebration!
For 90 years, it has been an American tradition in our nation’s capitol to light a “community tree” for all Americans. The tradition began with President Calvin Coolidge in 1923 with a 48 foot tree planted in President’s Park (The Ellipse) with 2,500 electric bulbs illuminating in red, white and green, as a local choir and the US Marine Band performed.
This year highlights a beautiful 65 foot Colorado Spruce that was planted only a few weeks ago and will be lit on December 6th at 5pm. With Washington, DC only a few miles east of Northern Virginia, it’s a great evening event to load up the car with the family and friends and head downtown!
