The Flower Mound High School annual holiday Madrigal Dinner was an evening full of singing, acting and costumes galore. The annual dinner included a medieval themed play and several ensembles performed by the FMHS choir students. This year, the dinner was held in the FMHS cafeteria on December 14th and 15th at 8:00 P.M.
“Some of us will actually go around the cafeteria to individual tables and serenade people throughout the play,” sophomore Colton Williams said. Varsity girls and boys choir were assigned the roles of “Royals”, such as kings and queens, while the junior varsity boys and girls were playing “Seasons”, representing the four seasons.
“We are really proud of the play that has been put together this year, and we are excited to see what people will have to say about it,” junior Lena Jaffe said.
The atmosphere of the Madrigal Dinner portrayed joy and cheer with a hint of amusement.
“I really like being part of the Madrigal Dinner,” senior Ben Hladky said. Hladky played the role of a king in this year’s production, “I find watching your friends dressed up in medieval costumes and going around singing songs quite entertaining.”
Madrigal Dinner touches senior choir members especially. The members love being able to perform with their friends, yet they are saddened that this is their last year to perform.
“This is going to be the 4th year I have participated in Madrigal Dinner,” senior Bre Lewis said. “This is our favorite production that we put on. Some us seniors get really emotional towards the end of the play because we know it’s our last year and we are going to miss all the good times and friends we made in choir.”
This year’s dinner left guests with full stomachs, festive moods, and warm hearts with anticipation of next year’s Madrigal Dinner. During this medieval play, audience members partook in a delicious meal that was provided by Salerno’s. The popular Italian restaurant’s food draws in many, while others came for the lively music. The choir’s lineup included seasonal songs, group songs and others that the audience seemed to surely appreciate.
