If you are a 6th grade parent would you consider chaperoning for their choir tomorrow? All 3 of the chaperones we had signed up can no longer help out. It involves taking attendance, helping with ties and rosettes, and collecting them after the event. Please email me if you are willing to lend a hand. Yikes. armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org

Ohhhhhhh we had such a great time with the 8th graders. They dressed in costumes and had a photo scavenger hunt. Each group had a list of pictures that they had to take with their group. We received so many good ones, but below are a few of them. We’ll post the rest on the Facebook page. The pizza was good, the laughter and fun we had was priceless!

Swingfry Saturday, November 13, 2021 is going to be a fabulous day! 

It is the day of the Northridge Choral Departments’ annual SwingFry event! You, your family and friends, and other guests from the community will be able to see and hear the award winning Northridge High School and Northridge Middle School choirs along with special acts, AND enjoy an All-You-Can-Eat Fish and Chicken Dinner. Proceeds will help support our NHS and NMS choral programs. As a choir parent, your help is needed to make this fundraising event a successful one! The Middlebury Music Parent Association (MMPA) is asking all choir parents to volunteer to work a shift at the event. 

Finally, we are asking you to invite friends and family members to come to SwingFry and enjoy the dinner and show!

O.k. people. We are in an emergency situation at this point. WE ARE SHORT, 72 VOLUNTEERS! The high school parents have filled their slots and our slots remain open! I know you are busy people but please find an hour or two to lend a hand for our Swingfry Fundraiser. We are doing this for your children. (Guilt violin plays here). Please take time today to go to the link below and sign up for your position. Pretty please with cherries on top. Thank you. Mrs. A

We were checking the later slots to make sure our parents were signing up for their volunteer positions and found very few of you have signed up. Please remember that Middle School parents need to cover the later slots so that our High School parents can watch their kids. They are signing up for early slots and have most of them filled. WE NEED YOU or the party will fall apart with no workers the second half. Please sign up today. Thanks much! Mrs. A https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4daaae2aa2f4c52-20211

We passed out the SwingFry Choir Parent Letter today. In the post below it shares the information in case your copy never makes it home. I encourage you to sign up for your SwingFry Volunteer positions as soon as possible so that you get the times and jobs that you wish to have. Again, here is the link: https://northridgechoirs.com/swingfry/

We are one month from our first Choir Concert! (gasp, taking deep breath). We will be sending you many details in the next week, but in case the concert is not on your family calendar it will take place on Saturday, November 13th. Times will be announced soon! Each choir will sing throughout the afternoon on their own.

All conflicts will need to be turned in by Oct. 22. Slips are available in the choir room or on the choir website.

One thing you may want to get started on is shopping for the choir concert outfits. For boys they will need the following: black pants, black shoes (tennis shoes are fine), white dress shirts that are long sleeved and button down from the collar. (see picture)

The girls will need: Black knee length skirt, white blouse that is long sleeved and buttons down from the collar, and black shoes. (see pic)

Here are a few pics to give you an idea of what our students wear at concerts!
