Hey all!

If you weren’t able to make it out to the high school on Saturday evening, you missed an amazing show! These kids absolutely knocked it out of the park, putting such an awesome performance together in such a quick turnaround (crazy to think they had just hit the stage for the first time this year three weeks ago!?)! A huge thank you to all of our parent chaperones, photographers, ushers, box office workers, treat/water/locker decoration volunteers who helped make this show possible! We’ve already started having some awesome pictures of the night come in to share with you all(thank you to Mrs. Norris for this first batch)! Link to NMS Christmas 2025 Album Please feel free to share and enjoy (Please download any images you like (rather than taking screenshots, which are not as crisp or clear). Thank you again to her for catching these awesome shots!

On to a somewhat sad note, the camera that we had set up to record the show ended up having an card error and failed to save a recording of the show.😔 This unfortunately means we do not currently have a full performance link to share out with you all or to show the kids. To help see if we can crowdsource a solution to this problem, if any parents/family members/friends/neighbors/etc. happened to snag recordings of any or all of the performance we would love to get a chance to get ahold of them. To that effect, here is a link to a google drive folder that you all should be able to access and upload any recordings of the show to help (feel more than free to email Mr. Maura or Mr. Norwood if you are not able to access/upload).

Thank you all again for all of your help in making this awesome show happen! Excited to start stepping into contest music next semester and show off how much their voices can grow in the next 3 months (but happy to have a little more of a pause between now and then this time😉)! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas season and break in the next couple weeks! Thanks all!

Hey all! Hard to believe we’re already here at the start of December! As we count down the last few days heading into the start of show week, we just had a few tidbits of “need to know info” that we wanted to pass on your way!

1. The Christmas Concert is only 5 days away on Saturday (December 6th at 6:00pm)! There will only be one show for this concert, so we hope to see you there!
2. Concert Tickets are on sale now! Tickets are $3 and can be bought by the students during choir classes all throughout this week. Tickets will also be available at the Door on show day (same price).
3. We will be having our Tech Rehearsal for special roles (solos, dancers, speaking parts, show choir, etc.) tomorrow (12/2) in the High School Auditorium. All students will be done at 5:45 and released to Door 23 (corner near the Natatorium/MAC).
4. We will be having our Dress Rehearsal for all choir students on Thursday (12/4) in the High School Auditorium. Students will be released at the same time (5:45pm) for this rehearsal (6th Grade – Door 23, 7th Grade – Door 1, 8th Grade – Door 29). Knight Lights will rehearse until 6:30pm and release to Door 23.
5. On the day of, we have been told that there may be limited parking spaces available around the concert time due to other events happening at the MAC. The parking lots outside of Door 23 and 29 will be the normal recommended parking location, however overflow parking will also be available at the front of the High School outside of Door 1 if spaces are limited (with Door 1 being open as an additional entrance). Thank you for your understanding.
6. We are still looking to add a couple more chaperones for both Dress Rehearsal and Concert (mainly 6th and 7th Grade), as well as potentially adding a few more ushers. If you might consider helping out in this way, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Maura or myself asap! Thank you!
7. Finally, we have reminded students in class, but those students interested in taking a solo/ensemble to ISSMA S&E in February must have their registration forms turned in tomorrow morning to be entered into the event. *In the event of a 2-hour delay please reach out to Mr. Norwood/Mr. Maura with intent to register.

I believe that’s everything we have to throw your way at the moment! Super excited to show off what the kids have been able to put together since you last saw them at SwingFry 3 weeks ago! Just you wait! Thanks all!

Hey all!

We have received SwingFry information to pass on to you all from the high school! Below you will find a letter that should be coming home with your daughter/son today, as well as the links to the SwingFry signups mentioned.

We are just under 2 months out from our first performance of the year, the SwingFry! In case you were not a part of the choirs previously, a couple things to know. The SwingFry is our big fundraising event for the year put on in partnership with our high school choirs. During the event, students from 6th grade to senior hit the stage to put on amazing performances for the thousands of parents, family, friends, and community members coming out to the see the show! Throughout the course of the day there will be Bake Sales, Silent Auctions, as well as an All You Can Eat Chicken and Fish Dinner that you won’t want to miss! To help make this event possible, it takes a tremendous amount of help from students, parents, and volunteers. On the SwingFry tab of the choir website you will find links to different ways that you can help us out in many areas of need. Our high school parent volunteers help cover the times during our own middle school performances (tentatively between 3:00pm and 4:45pm, definite times to come in October) so that our parents/etc. are able to catch their daughter/son’s performance, so we are asking our middle school choir parents to help cover times during high school performances to allow them to do the same. We are looking to have at least one sign-up from each choir students family (more is definitely welcome as well😉). If you could take a look at those links and help fill in an area of need, it would be greatly appreciated! Can’t wait to show off the awesome work these kids have been putting in! Thanks all!

Hey all! Mr. Cone and I have been watching the weather and there is a good chance that rain will impact our dodgeball event tomorrow. As of now, we are still planning on getting our dodgeball on, but if it looks like it will be raining after school, we will unfortunately have to cancel. We will look to make a decision by 1:30/2:00 at the latest, so keep an eye out for an update around then to make sure! Fingers-crossed it’ll pass us by and the dodgeballs will fly!😉
