NCHS Orchestra Update 2.20.26

Pastry Shoppe Fundraiser: 

Pastry Shop fundraiser orders are due Monday, February 23. They must be turned in by that date - we will not be able to accept late orders. Please make checks payable to U5 Music Parents.


New York Trip Update:
 

We need to have an accurate list of contact information for everyone traveling on the trip so we don’t have to rely on Infinite Campus messages. Please fill out this form as soon as possible  - one entry for each person in your family traveling with us. The form will also request cell phone numbers and any dietary restrictions. It should only take a few seconds to complete.  Once the Pastry Shoppe fundraiser is complete, any money earned will be sent directly to the tour company and applied to your balance before final payments are due in March. We will assume you would like your fundraised money applied toward your trip unless you contact Mr. Luginbuhl at luginbbr@unit5.org to indicate otherwise. In more exciting news, our tour company was able to secure tickets for all of the Broadway shows students requested, so everyone will be able to see the shows they signed up for. Our Q&A session with the music director from Wicked will also include an actor/singer from the show, which should be a fantastic experience for our group.

Fundraiser Updates


HyVee Bagging for Tips: 

Two HyVee bagging-for-tips events are scheduled this semester—Saturday, March 21 from 11:00 am–3:00 pm and Saturday, April 11 from 11:00 am–3:00 pm. This is a great fundraiser opportunity, and all money earned will be credited to individual student accounts for use toward the New York City trip this summer or future orchestra trips. Click here to sign up.



Fundraising Coordinator:
 

Melissa Miles is still looking for someone to take over the Fundraising Coordinator role. She will be “graduating” with her senior at the end of this year and would love to transition someone into the position before then. If you’re interested or would like more details, please reach out—this is a great way to support the program behind the scenes.



Unit 5 Music Parents Bingo:
 

U5MP is hosting its first-ever Bingo Night on February 6. Click here for more information.
