Here are some of the elements from this year’s Christmas Program.

Drummer Boy

We decided to take a cue from Church on the Move‘s production, Celebrate with Family and were inspired by their 2010 opener Drummer Boy. We kicked off our 2011 show with this awesome Drummer Boy arrangement. We decided to add a short monologue at the beginning to set the mood. The Band did such a great Job.

Wanna Ride in the Sleigh

The top of the show was packed with a ton of excitement and humor. Check out this Burno Mars Grenade parody: “Wanna Ride in the Sleigh” Watch the video to find out how far one deranged christmas lover will go to ride in santas sleigh.

“Behind the Scenes”

Every year we put so much effort into “A Family Christmas” So we put together this satirical “Behind the Scenes Look” at the planing process.

Elf on the Street

Yes ladies and gentlemen he’s back! Peter, I mean Buddy, the elf is back from last years opener. This time around we took the king of Christmas cheer to downtown Pittsburgh to see if what kind of Christmas cheer our city had. Coincidentally the ice rink at PPG was hosting a mascot skate. There were dozens of local and national mascots on hand taking pictures, skating, and hanging with the kiddos. Let’s just say we used this to our advantage, and the elf may have crashed the mascot party, including getting announced over the PA system along with all the other Mascots. Oh yeah, and the elf meets a very special lady friend towards the end of the video so you will want to watch the whole thing.

The Christmas Story

Thanks to the kind folks over at Northpoint Media we were inspired by one of their videos from last year featuring some youngsters reciting the Christmas story from the bible.
