We had a very Cool Yule last weekend and Christmas is almost is here in just a few short days! Our Christmas concert DVD’s were dropped off this afternoon and should be coming home with your student (7th graders will get theirs tomorrow morning). We also have a few extra copies (about 10 DVDs and a couple Blu-ray’s) that we ordered just in case it had slipped your mind to order. We’ll sell them tomorrow until they’re gone! First come first serve!

Also we have added a heaping helping of more Christmas pictures on the NMS Choir Beast Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Nmschoir/) check them out for some wonderful snapshots of a fantastic show! Lots more can be found here as well! A huge thank you to our wonderful Photo-moms who helped us out by taking pictures!!

Have a very Merry Christmas from the NMS Choir!:)

Just in case you were feeling like you needed one last dose of how amazing the Final Blast was, we have a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure! Thank you to Mrs. Gilbert for these!

The Annual Band vs Choir Dodgeball Deathmatch is quickly approaching, and if you hadn’t heard the Mr. Cone and the NMS Band threw down the gauntlet earlier this week (Video for Reference), so we couldn’t just not respond.:) Hope to see all of you choir beasts there after school Tuesday (3:45 to 5:00) to help defend our current reign as dodgeball champions!!!

*Try #2! 🙂

8th graders: Carlie Weaver, Meghan Mansfield, Nicholas Gorden, Mandy Dyson, and Hailey Thompson sang our National Anthem acapella and in 3 part harmony this morning at the 5K. They were outstanding. Great job Choir Beasts! (Sad to say, but it sounds like your definitely ready for High School!) Heres the video!!

And if a little something caught your eye on one of the plaques, the 6th Grade Choir was also awarded a “With Distinction” award based on their scores (They were only 2.5 points away from a perfect score of 27)!!

And on top of all of that, both the 7th Grade and 8th Grade NMS Bands received Gold Ratings earlier in the day as well!! Must be something in the water at NMS that produces awesome musicians…. Or we just have some amazingly talented kids!!!

We couldn’t be prouder of these kids and the hard work and long hours that they put in to reach this high level of excellence! WAY TO GO BEASTS!!!!

Another week (or 2) of students rising to the challenge and standing out as top beasts! Whether it was keeping focused after long days of ISTEP testing or carefully picking apart and cleaning just a small passage of our contest music these kids kept their eye on the prize! Here are the tip-top beast o’the week (and last week)!
