1. Chaperones for Final Blast and it’s dress rehearsal are crucial to the success of our program. We can’t have students on their own. Please please, please consider filling a chap position. Also you will need to go to this site to fill out a short background check form: https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NTc1OTplbi1VUw==
2. We currently need volunteers in just aabout every area of every grade. Our phone moms need to make reminder calls with specific information by next Wed. However, right now there is no one to call. I know many of you have volunteered this year but this last concert needs you to lend a hand. Please sign up today so that we can hand out the information to our phone moms.
3. We are sill looking for costumes from a different country for the song “It’s a Small World.” (14)
4. We are collecting money ($10) for t shirts now. Please send in the payment as soon as you can.
5. We are also collecting dinner donation money now!
6. Finally we want you to know that this show will have a DISNEY theme throughout. It will be so fun for children. I’m sure we will be hearing singing from the audience. Invite as many little ones as you can! (You may be singing too!!!)

Thanks for supporting us! We can do so many cool things with your help!!

If you have a conflict with the Final Blast we will need the conflict form signed and returned by Friday, May 26.

A parent letter will be sent home tomorrow. Here is your advanced copy.

Just in case you missed it, we had an amazing day this past Saturday! 6th Grade started the day off with a spectacular start receiving a Gold Rating in the Group III Division! 7th Grade followed soon after with their own fantastic performance receiving their own Gold Rating in the Group II Division (the only group participating at that level)! Finally 8th Grade, not to be outdone by the other grades, stepped up as the only choir participating in the Group I Division and absolutely knocked it out of the park receiving, you guessed it, a Gold Rating for their performance!!

And that wasn’t all! Both the 7th Grade and 8th Grade Bands performed soon after with both groups receiving Gold Ratings, with the 8th Grade receiving the “With Distinction” award for the quality of their performance!!

But wait! There’s still more! The High School show choirs also took to the stage at their final competition performances at the Noblesville’s Indiana Show Choir Championships with both groups receiving Best Vocals, Best Visuals, and Best Band, as well being named Grand Champions in each of their respective divisions! A perfect sweep!!

An absolutely great day for the Northridge Music Department in totality! A huge thank you to the numerous parent volunteers who stepped in to help out in various capacities throughout the day! A special thank you to Mrs. Runions, Mrs. Byers, and Mr. Swathwood for capturing some wonderful snapshots of the day. Photo albums for each of the grades can be found here:

An awesome weekend full of awesome and musically talented kids! It’s a great time to be part of the Northridge Music Programs!!
