Celebrating the holidays, West Aurora High School students staged their 37th annual madrigal concerts last weekend. A dinner concert Saturday evening was followed by a dessert concert Sunday afternoon.
Volunteers converted the student cafeteria to a Medieval-style great hall for the event.
Quincy Ivory and Julie Popplewell reigned as king and queen.
Cast members in period costumes included 25 Madrigal Singers, 36 singing servers and a five-piece Royal Brass.
West culinary arts students prepared the menus under direction of Linda Brennan, head royal chef.
Concert directors were Brian Smith, Madrigal Singers; Lydia Walsh-Rock, Singing Servers; and John Sierakowski, Madrigal Brass. Also, Sean Tait was castle manager and Emmy Winter was Wizard of Flashes and Booms.
