When was the last time you saw something you didn’t believe … well, if you believe in Christmas … believe you me … you won’t believe what you’re about to see … or will you?
It’s a 67-foot human singing Christmas tree made up of over 240 students from the Mona Shores High School Choir. And every holiday season they perform live at the historic Frauenthal Center in downtown Muskegon.
This massive tree also features over 25,000 colored lights and over 5000 feet of festive holiday greenery. This is a Christmas sight to both see and hear. And thousands have witnessed to or been a part of this incredible tradition for over 30 years.
To get a handle on how it all started, I tracked down the choirs fearless, but never cheerless leader, Shawn Lawton.
After a few words with the man who wields the wand, I set out in search of singers … and maybe a monkey of two.
The dedication of the entire community to this incredible event was absolutely awe-inspiring. To pull off a show of this magnitude takes hundreds of talented and motivated people working in complete and perfect harmony. And when it all comes together … that’s exactly what the audience hears.
If you’re looking to put spectacular in your holiday spectacles, come see the famous Singing Christmas Tree at the historic Frauenthal Center. The Mona Shores High School Choir will love you for it. And the merry folks of Muskegon will make you feel mighty welcome.
