NV CHOIR WINS ESPRIT DE CORPS!

On May 17th the NV 7th and 8th grade Mixed Choir traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio to compete in the Music in the Parks Festival.  We are pleased to announce that we were selected for the prestigious "Esprit de Corps" award out of over 40 bands, orchestras, and choirs. This coveted award is given to an orgainzation which displays an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior.  It spotlights the performance of the students throughout the festival as they demonstrate their highest level of responsible behavior. Personal Integrity, quality character values, a desire for excellence and a spirit of cooperation serve as the cornerstone qualities of this award.

Not only did we win the "Esprit de Corps" award, but we placed 2nd in AA Middle School Choirs in the vocal competition. There were organizations from Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana in the competition.

We would like to express our gratitude to the parents and staff members who went along and helped make this such a successful day for us.
