HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

Best wishes to you all from Mrs. M. for a wonderful summer. 
To the 8th graders who are moving on to High School, remember this:
Aim high, believe in yourself, take one step at a time to achieve your goals. and remember to keep in touch!  I will miss you!  You are wonderful kids and very special to me!

To keep your music reading skills strong over the summer, I recommend all choir students spend time on the Lessons and Trainers in the following site.  If you do this you will be in GREAT shape musically when school starts in August. musictheory.net  Another fun site to sharpen your musical skills is musictechteacher.com/musicquizzes.htm

STAY SAFE, KEEP SINGING, ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!

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.
