We have had a terrific start to the school year.  On the first day we passed out the choir handbook and explained what slips needed to be returned.  If you never received your copy, here is one just for you!  Click here —> NMS Choral Handbook 2019-2020 The last six pages were “homework for parents”.  The volunteer and choir commitment forms are due Friday, August 16th.  The last 2 pages (Choir Fee form) won’t be due until August 30th.  If you would please sign those pages, that would be very helpful to us.

Final call out – show choir camp registrations are due June 30 so send yours in THIS WEEK! Singing & dancing with Syd & Mary…don’t miss out, it’s a *BLAST*! Students going into grades 6-9

More pics were posted on facebook… but here’s a sneak peak….

Thanks Mrs. Byers, Mrs. Cushwa, and Mrs. Walker!  Your pictures are wonderful!!

We are beginning to post Final Blast Pictures on Facebook.  Thank you to Mrs. Byers and Mrs. Cushwa for snapping such beautiful photos.   Here are a few to get you started.   More to follow….  DON’T FORGET THAT DVD ORDERS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY 🙂  

We need to have parents oversee our student dinner in the cafeteria between shows.  All that is necessary is walking around giving the “evil eye” to students who get out of their seat without permission.   Students raise their hand when they are ready to leave and you check their table/floor area for messes.  If there’s a mess, THEY CLEAN THEM UP.  After all of the kids are gone parents stick around and wipe down tables and sweep the floor.  We need quite a few more people….and since you’ll be at the show anyway….wouldn’t you please lend a hand?  Just go to signup genius and signup under dinner crew.  Pr-e-t-t-y Pleeze?  * Dinner Crew meets in the NHS Cafeteria between 5:15 – 5:30 to set up for dinner.  You can also come after show 1 if that is the show have tickets for.   It should be over by 5:45 p.m.

Don’t forget that Peter Pan the NMS Musical will be taking place this weekend!  Shows will be 7:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday night.  You can get your tickets in advance by using this link —>PeterPan Advanced Tickets or at the door if there are any left. 🙂

We sent home a parent letter Friday and are not hearing back from very many parents, so here are a few reminders:

We need volunteers – big time!  Please sign up under the sign up genius tab.  Please.  Please.  Please! (begging status at this point)

T-Shirt Money should be turned in by Friday if at all possible.  ($9)   Donations towards other kids shirts will be gratefully accepted.

Food Donation Money is desperately needed to pay for dinner for the 400+ little stars that we have.  Please send in your donation asap so that we can sleep at night.

Phone reminders to all volunteers will be made this weekend.  Thanks in advance for your help.  

One week t’go!

Here is the need to know info for the Final Blast Concerts!

The Northridge Middle School Choirs had an exciting weekend at ISSMA Choir Contest. Each choir did an outstanding job as they performed for standing room only crowds! The three judges were impressed with their performance and gave each choir three first place markings. Our 6th grade choir and our 7th grade choir each walked away with the “With Distinction Award”. This award is only awarded to the highest of scores. All three groups were given beautiful golden plaques to be hung in the Music Hall of Fame at NMS. Mr. Norwood and Mrs.Armington could not be more proud of the level of professionalism and musicianship these choirs demonstrated on Saturday. Congratulations everyone!
