The evening featured an impressive lineup of acts, including visiting parish bands, the church’s many dedicated choirs, their resident rock band The Boldheads, and the youthful energy of the Moving Parts Quartet, one of the parish’s talented youth bands. The Moving Parts Quartet brought a fresh and lively vibe to the event, treating the audience to upbeat Christmas pop hits that added a modern touch to the festive occasion. Amid the musical festivities, The Vocal Groove Collective captivated the audience with their 25-minute set, holding the nearly sold-out crowd spellbound. Their energetic and soulful renditions had attendees dancing in joy and sharing in the festive cheer. A standout moment of the evening was their lively performance of the Pointer Sisters’ rock-hit version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” which brought the jolly St. Nick to life on stage, much to the delight of the audience. Adding to the magic, some members of The Vocal Groove Collective delivered stunning solo performances throughout the concert. Highlights included: Kuya Pabs Quiogue and Rodney Ronquillo (on piano) presenting a heartfelt rendition of David Foster’s beloved hit, “Thankful.” Rodney accompanying one of the parish cantors, Jeneetha, on a moving performance of “Grown-Up Christmas List.” Bevs Saraza joining the large St. Thomas More Combined Choir as one of three soloists for a breathtaking delivery of “O Holy Night,” accompanied by Don Torres on piano. The event was not only a celebration of the holiday season but also served as a fundraiser to support the parish’s community initiatives and structural renovations. The Vocal Groove Collective is proud to have been part of such a meaningful event, sharing the stage with talented musicians and spreading the message of love, peace, and joy through music.
