On Saturday, Dec. 1, the Sparta High School German students performed to celebrate the 17th annual German Christmas Market (Weihnachtsmarkt) on the Boardwalk. Together, the German students sang various classic German carols to help put a glorious start to the spectacular Christmas season. According to German teacher Herr Bendorf, “I thought it went really well. We had probably 30 singers with us. It was a lot of fun and I hope they invite us back next year.”
Students sung a variety of traditional German songs. AP German seniors AJ Rudolph and Luke Kurian alternated introducing each song before singing it to the audience. Rudolph and Kurian are the President and Secretary of Sparta High School’s German Club, respectively.
The students started off with the carols “O Tannenbaum,” “Stille Nacht,” and “Rudolf mit Rotem Näschen.” In English, these German song titles translate to “O Christmas Tree,” “Silent Night,” and “Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer.” The group also sang original German Christmas carols, which include “Kling Glöckchen” and “Ihr Kinderlein Kommet.” As announced by Rudolph, the all-around favorite was “Kling Glöckchen.”

All in all, this year’s German Christmas Market performance was a success. The German students hope to put on another fantastic show next year.
