Bremen Music Department Virtual Winter Concert
​
"The 12 Days of Christmas"

The Bremen Music Department presents 12 performances to celebrate our 67th Annual Winter Concert.
One performance was added each day from December 25th to January 5th.

Students recorded their individual performances remotely, in their own homes, predominantly using their school iPads. 
Most of the performances were recorded using Smart Music or Soundtrap.  
The performances were combined and mixed by Mr. Salgado using Adobe Audition and Adobe Premiere.  
You will hear the Band, the Choir, the Jazz Ensemble, small ensembles, and soloists from our After-School Choir. 
​
We are thankful for all of the support that parents, family, friends, the Bremen H.S. community, and the Bremen District 228 community has given us during this time.

We especially thank the following individuals for their continued support of the Fine & Performing Arts in our community. 
It is only with their support, and the support of so many others, that we are able to bring these performances to you this winter.

​THANK YOU!!!
