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

Here is some info on the 6th grade roller skating party!

Every year at the Swing Fry concerts we have a huge bake sale and a Silent Auction. Parents donate things to the auction so that we can raise money for the Choir Programs at NMS and NHS. Many parents donate services from their jobs, while others are happy to donate new items. This year we have a flat screen TV going up for auction!! 🙂 Below you will find the link for the silent auction and additional information. Thanks for your consideration! Mrs. Armington

Here it the link for the google form for the auction

We are planning on having this auction through 32auction.com again.   I want to have this up and going the week before Swing Fry.   We will need all items no later than Saturday 11/4, so we can get everything set-up and the auction live by Monday.

First the voice lesson slots are available for the 7th grade not the 8th grade classes.

Secondly, the concert calendar for choir has a misprint for the Swing Fry!! It says that the Fundraiser SwingFry is on the 12th. It is on the 11th which is a Saturday. Please make this change on your calendar. I apologize.

Mrs. Norwood has a few slots left for voice lessons in 8th grade choir. Call 574-238-6363 if you would like one for your child!!

If you will click on the parent info tab above you will find a background check form. We ask all of our volunteers to complete this to assure safety of our children. If you have already filled one out this year you do not need to complete this form. 🙂 We appreciate your help with this. Thank you!

Looking out for everyone’s safety 🙂
