Members of the sixth through 12th grade choirs at Constantine Middle School and Constantine High School wave their phone flashlights while singing “Silent Night” during their caroling on South Washington Street in Constantine as part of the village’s Christmas celebration Friday, Dec. 16. A large number of community members braved the cold and blowing snow to listen to the music in the street and then watch the subsequent lighted parade that evening.
