Tonks:

How odd, if it were a 'school' concert, that any religious songs would 
be done at all. Was it just a concert that rented the school space, or 
something actually put on by the 'school'? I am inclined to think that 
it was a group renting the space. I went to see the Islamic Sufi 
Whirling Dervish dancers at a school one night, but it was not a school 
function. I was under the impression that if it is a school function 
that not even songs talking about Santa can be sung. I know that Santa 
can no longer visit schools in my area.
