Our office holiday party is probably a lot like yours, we’d guess. Everyone brings something for the potluck and there are both too many and not enough desserts. Even a friendly game of Rob Your Neighbor breaks out. And the party is kicked off by your office band, replete with brass and woodwind sections.

Okay, so maybe not every office features such a band. Spearheaded by afternoon anchor and baritone player Joseph Leahy, this year was the first for the St. Louis Public Radio staff "band," which played a selection of Christmas favorites.
