NMS Chorus, Band, and Orchestra Concerts
This past week, NMS celebrated the holiday season with our Chorus, Band, and Orchestra concerts on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
We truly packed the house both nights. (On a side note: We will be looking into breaking these concerts into three nights in the future. This is a great problem to have for we had so many spectators that there were traffic jams getting in and out. Again, this is a positive problem that our participation in our musical programming is growing. We have lived and learned and so we will make changes for the Spring Concerts.)
On Tuesday night, Ms. Beth Anne Young stepped in and led the NMS Orchestra through its numbers as Ms. Santos, who is in for Ms. Thornton, was too sick to come. It is a team effort in the Fine Arts Department and we are ever so happy to see how we can all work together.
Ms. Young's Chorus did a fabulous job filling the stage and risers singing their hearts out for this first concert of the school year.
On Wednesday night, Ms. Melanie Santos, our long term substitute, led our Band through some difficult holiday songs as the three grades played together for the first time all together.
It is always so awesome to celebrate our artistic, musical students in their work on stage.
Thank you to Ms. Young and Ms. Santos for your leadership. Special thanks to Ms. Amy Anderson, Ms. Kate Hetu, Ms. Debbie Walgreen, Ms. Gabby Charbonneau, Ms. Jeriann Tucker, Ms. Robin Maxwell, and Ms. Chelsea Santos for lending a helpful hand.
They were two excellent nights of music. Congrats to all of our NMS musical talents.
