An Emerging Tradition

The Beloit Memorial High School Performing Arts Department invite the community to a holiday concert experience. Now in its fifth year and based on continued enthusiasm for this annual event you don’t want to miss this combined performance.

Memorial’s Miracle

The name of the Beloit Memorial production is inspired by the 1947 movie Miracle on 34th Street that revolves around the famous holiday parade sponsored by Macy’s department store headquartered on 34th Street in New York City.

Memorial’s Miracle is a collaborative production featuring top performers from the choir, orchestra, band and theatre programs. Also participating are student artists. It is something of a variety show featuring sounds of the winter season with bold lighting, song selections, a theatre element and opportunities for soloists and small group ensembles.

Building A Holiday Season Tradition

The purpose of the concert is to provide Beloit with a school concert production that people will look forward to every year, something that BMHS graduates who are off at school come back for every December. Now in its forth year Miracle continues as a budding tradition here at the high school growing in numbers on the stage and in the audience every year.

Miracle on 4th Street Poster

Antuan McClinton, a 2014 BMHS graduate designed and illustrated the poster. It has become the image of Miracle on 4th Street. We use this poster to advertise the show every year.

Like the tradition of the show, everyone involved hopes this illustration becomes something of a keepsake for the Beloit community, a image students may remember seeing as young children and grow up associating with the high school’s musical celebration of holiday magic.
