NCHS Orchestras Update 11.5.25

Hauntcert Thank-Yous: 

A heartfelt thank-you to all the parents who made this year’s Hauntcert possible. Your time, effort, and enthusiasm are what bring this event to life each year. Special thanks to our Concert Orchestra students who volunteered throughout the night and to the NCHS Key Club for supplying so many helpers to pass out candy during trick-or-treating. We couldn’t have done it without you!


Hauntcert Videos & Photos:

Extravaganza Update: 

The Unit 5 Music Parents Extravaganza will be Monday, November 10 in the NCHS Auditorium. The NCHS Orchestra portion of the concert begins at 5:30 pm, and all orchestras will perform. Students will stay after school that day for a rehearsal prior to the concert. Dress is the new grey orchestra t-shirt and jeans.  We could still use a few more adult volunteers to help out at the event - click here to see what's left


ILMEA Update: 

Students selected for District Orchestra should bring $12 in cash for lunch at the festival. Additional details will be available later this week for the event on Saturday, November 15. Please let me know as soon as possible if your student will need a ride home after the concert at Olivet Nazarene.
