NCHS Orchestras Parade of Champions Update

Congratulations to the NCHS Orchestra program on their IHSA Class AA Solo & Ensemble (Strings) 1st place win!  As this has been a very last minute turn around, a quick reminder that all students who performed at contest this past week are invited to walk with our group during the Parade of Champions tomorrow (Friday).  Please wear an official NCHS orchestra t-shirt (any color if you are not a freshman - it does not have to be this year's).  Our three ALL-STATE orchestra students will also be walking with the band and choir all-state students!  Students should meet at 9:45 in the orchestra room and we will get lined up.  Parents please remind your students (especially Sinfonia and Intermezzo as this information became available after their class today).

Orchestra Update 3.3.25


Gobena Coffee orders are in!  Please make arrangements to get these picked up asap.  Let's get caffeinated!!!



We are still in desperate need of volunteers for the IHSA Solo & Ensemble Contest this weekend - the list is less than half full and we simply cannot make the event work without the help of many students and parents.  Please consider helping us out with the event!  Jobs aren't difficult, we just need a few hours of time :-)
