The past two weekends have been very busy for the instrumental music program at NRH. Congratulations Melvin and Paul for earning a first chair position in the All City Orchestra. The All City Band was equally superb with guest conductor Mr. John Brewington. The NRH Band boosters produced a professional fashion show featuring the graduating seniors in the music program. I hope that this will be an annual event for the band boosters. It was an appropriate and elegant rite of passage for the seniors in the program. Thank you everyone for all of your hardwork and sacrifice for the future of musical exellence in our school. A few reminders:
We will have a rehearsal on Saturday at 2 p.m. Parents are asked to please send a bag lunch with your student. There will be hamburgers and hot dogs available for the students provided by the band boosters but, please pack a lunch in the event your student may need something different. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the actual event will begin by 7 p.m.
