Please look under the 8th grade tab to find your rehearsal recordings!  Ask Mrs. Armington or Mr. Norwood for additional help if you need it.  That’s what we are here for!!

Thanks to Mrs. Gilbert we have some great photos of our 6th graders at ISSMA last weekend!  Just click on the Facebook link (on this page) to get a sneak peak of their exciting day!

Our kids were unbelievable today. They have worked so hard this year, pushing themselves farther than I expected (and I set a pretty high bar!). Today all three choirs did their very best. Every musical nuance we worked on they hit dead on. When your choir is connected to you in a performance it feels as though you are painting music. Today each of my choirs let me paint a masterpiece. It was so fun! I am a PROUD MAMMA ARMINGTON. Time for bed!

Just in case you’ve been anxiously waiting with bated breath to find out how our choir beasts did, we have the results you’ve been waiting for!

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!!!!

Tomorrow we will be sending a final note home for our choir parents that will include a review of the times, directions to GMS, parking info, and performance information.  In case your copy doesn’t make it into your hands, here’s one just for you!

Wow!  What great kids we have!  Working on our extremely difficult ISSMA Choir pieces has not been easy.  Repeating music and buffing and shining every nuance is not always fun but our kids have been real troupers these last few weeks.  A few standouts were named as our top Choir Beasts this week!  Here they are:

6th  Alayna Lamley, Riley Rudd, Megan Williams

7th Lauren Hainlin, Thane Stutzman, Nora Spudich

8th Jacquelin Figueroa, Lucas Hoover, Leah Miller

Great Job Kids!!
