Story by: Rebecca Peeples

   
     In the spirit of Christmas, The University of Montevallo's
Department of Music hosted Coffee and Carols. Even thoughit was a cold and rainy Friday night, the Lebaron Recital Hall was packed. Under the direction of Melinda Doyle and accompanist, Adam Bowles, the UM concert choir and the university chorus sung classic Christmas carols.

   Songs like Do You Hear What I Hear and Hark! The Herald-Angels Sing among many other classic filled the recital hall with the spirit of Christmas. The recital hall was so packed every seat was filled and even some were standing.
     According to choir member, Daniel Yates, a lot of hard work and dedication went into this concert."We've been practicing for two months," said Yates.

 
   

      Immediately following the concert, desserts, furnished by Publix, coffee and other beverages were served. Not only did people leave filled with coffee and deserts but also with the Christmas spirit.
