Yesterday was wonderful! We just want to thank all of you for making it possible!! From buying the black and whites, to baking, serving as volunteers, and being a great audience, we couldn’t ask for more! Our volunteer slots were covered, there was a lot of silent auction and baked goods donated, and the kids were proud of themselves! Kids need to work hard and see the results of a job well done these days! Thanks to your applause they felt special! Your opinion matters most to them so thank you!! We are hoping that some of you got great videos since we had no videographer. If you did lease send us a copy!!

Armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org. Thank you again!

Sincerely, Mrs. Armington, and Mr. Norwood!

Please bring your phones or recording devices if you would like to record your student’s performance.  Unfortunately, our Videographer is unable to attend today.  If anyone happens to have capabilities and is willing to record our event please let me know.  Thank you for your understanding in this matter!  We do apologize for the inconvenience!  

See you at the Swing Fry. 

Here ya go!

The Swingfry Fundraiser’s Silent Auction is going live at noon today! Bid high!!! 🙂
www.32auctions.com/swingfry2023

Students should be dressed in their black and white concert attire when they arrive at NHS. They should be in the band room by the warmup time lined up and ready to go! A copy of this was sent home with each student, but in case it doesn’t make it here is a copy just for you!

I looked up our parent volunteers and we have NO ONE chaperoning the 7th graders on Nov. 11th! Yikes, that’s not good! We just need 2-3 to help put on ties and take attendance. You will not miss their singing!

We also are very short on Balcony Chaperones! 4:00 we have 2, which is o.k. 5:00 we have 1, we need 1 more. 6:00 we have NO ONE!!! All you have to do is watch over kids in the balcony and make sure they stay in their seats and are quiet during the performances. No one should hang over the ledge. That would be bad! 🙂

For dress rehearsal we need 2 more chaperones per grade please please please. You will serve treats and water, and oversee the kids to make sure they are quiet in the auditorium and behaving in the cafeteria. We will meet Thursday, Nov. 9th at NMS at 2:45 and walk over to the high school. You should be done by 6:15 p.m.

FOR ANY OF THESE VOLUNTEER SLOTS JUST GO TO THE SIGNUP GENIUS TAB AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE AND SIGN UP.

I know a lot of have volunteered already but if you can lend a hand we’d appreciate it very much!!

Thanks, Mrs. Armington

You may purchase your SF tickets here or at the door on November 11th at NHS. We highly recommend you purchase them online so that you can avoid long lines. Please remember that this is our one and only fundraiser for Choir. Invite as many to dinner as you can. Students get in to all shows for free but will need a dinner purchased for them.

Here’s the link –> https://northridgechoirs.ludus.com/

Below is the link for the information needed regarding SF. You will find the links for Volunteering, Bake Sale, Silent Auction, on the Parent Info Tab at the top of this page. If you haven’t signed up for your volunteer slot (s) please do so. We are only 3 weeks away and there are quite a few uncovered positions that need to be filled. Thanks and enjoy your Fall Break!’

We wanted to remind you that the SwingFry (our first show and Fall Fundraiser) is about 1 month away. I know a lot of people who wait until the last minute to sign up for their position(s) but we really need you to sign up sometime this week so that we have a good head count of what is covered and what is not getting covered. Please remember that each choir parent should lend a hand for at least 1 or 2 slots for SwingFry. This “party” will bring in around 3,000 people from the Middlebury Community. We need more volunteers for this than any thing else this year. If you are worried about missing your child’s performance time…don’t worry! If you should happen to sign up during their performance time you will be excused to go see them! I wish I could give you their performance times now but I don’t receive them until 2 weeks before the show. We have other visiting schools that may participate with our choirs and they will get first dibs on the slots available 🙂 It is best to sign up for slots after 5:00 p.m. so that our high school parents will get a chance to watch their kids perform.

Please go to the following links to sign up. Do not go to the NMS Choir Website. We use that for our other concerts. Thank you so much for your help and attention to this matter.

Sincerely, Mrs. Armington and Mr. Norwood
