Float 6 – Lyrics “What Child Is This?” 

[Verse 1]

What Child is this who laid to rest

On Mary’s lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

[Verse 2]

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding

The end of fear for all who hear

The silent Word is speaking

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

[Verse 3]

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant king to love him;

The King of Kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him praise

The babe, the son of Mary

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby:

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The babe, the son of Mary


Hey Toy Soldiers!

This role is a mix of the uprightness ballet body & modern hip hop. You’ll be trying to accomplish both in this role. The vibe is also Rockettes meets Janet Jackson, Rhythm Nation. Learn the choreography at home and Miss Mariah will schedule a time for you to add formations to the choreography. 

Reminder – You will have high pony tails. If you don’t have long hair, you may want to get a ponytail extension.
