There are a myriad of unconventional traits and activities that make Windsor, as a whole, unique and definitely distinctive. An overwhelming majority of both students and staff can agree that Windsor is undoubtedly one-of-a-kind, and, an overwhelming majority of students and staff would also say that they would rather not be at any other place.
For any veteran Windsor attendee, the holidays mean an abundance of last minute finials preparations, an excitement for the annual holiday break and the popular production of Christmas at Windsor Castle. Christmas at Windsor Castle is an annual show in which a student oriented casts performs a tribute to Shakespearean settings and satirical, family-centered comedy. Christmas at Windsor Castle incorporates a multitude of fine arts extracurriculars, including: multiple outlets of the school’s choruses, choreographed, student dancers, a strong, well-founded acting assembly, and a custom Middle-Age’s meal, prepared and served by Windsor High School staff and students.
“Christmas at Windsor Castle is a great time overall. Everything about it is thoroughly enjoyable. I have participated in Christmas at Windsor Castle for three years now, since my freshman year, and I have to say that it is definitely something I look forward in doing every year, and the Shakespearean theme just adds to it. Last year, my part was in being Captain of the Royal Guard. This year, I have stepped it up a little, and became Lord Chamberlain, the Queen’s right hand man. Some people might be hesitant in committing to it because they find the language intimidating, but it just furthers the final effect. It would not be the same without it. It is Christmas at Windsor Castle for a reason,” junior Tyler Lingle said.
This year’s rendition of Christmas at Windsor Castle will be in the category of varying degrees of dissimilarity from the previous years’ productions. This year’s production is unique in terms of the large amount of senior participation compared to the previous years. This year’s production will also be unique in the terms of limited practice allocation. Due to a personal family tragedy, English teacher Elaine Geimer had been forced to take leave throughout the last week. Despite the recent halt in ordinary routine, things are still expected to run fine this weekend.
“I am amazed with all the dedication of my cast. They are all a bunch of take charge people, and they are undoubtedly prepared for this weekend’s shows. Because of a recent tragedy in my family, I haven’t been able to be around as much as I would’ve like to, but I have immense faith that everything will run smoothly and be amazing,” Geimer said.
The show will be on Saturday, December 10 at 6:30 pm and Sunday, December 11 at 3:30 pm.
