Goodbye 2022 NAHS Chorus!
As the school year comes to a close, so does chorus. Even though this is our first year really back from COVID, we still managed to have an almost normal and amazing school year! To wrap up this year, let’s take a look back at what we as a choral department have done, starting with the 2022 Winter Chorus Concert.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The January concert was lots of fun! The hustle and bustle of the prism concert had been over for about a month, and that meant new music was coming to the auditorium. Here is a video of the concert! The order of performances are as follows:
Opening remarks from Nightingale presidents Paige Horvath and Caroline Hunter
Nightingales
NoteWorthy
The Four Horsemen
Concert Choir
Cantus
Encore with all choral department members

Next, the 2022 Northampton County Chorus Festival was unfortunately postponed because of rising COVID cases. Shout out to all of the students selected for the chorus!

Nightingale auditions were next! Students were voice tested and asked to sight read a few measures. With a total of 24 members, here are the 2022-2023 Nightingales. Congrats everyone!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up next, District Chorus! From February 10-12, students got together to sing, “Awake the Trumpets Lofty Sound.” We were lucky enough for 15 students to get selected!
Congrats to all participants!

Then, love travelled through the air of NAHS! The Crescendudes sang their 2022 Valentine’s Day grams. They were completely sold out and a huge hit around the building! Here is one of their performances:

When they were there, the Nightingales also performed at the 2022 PMEA State Conference! They were selected over many other groups and it is a huge honor :) Here is their entire performance:

Next, Nazareth Night at the Phantom’s took place! Cantus was able to sing the National Anthem for the entire stadium.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps one of the biggest events of the year, PMEA All State Chorus! From April 6-9, five students from Nazareth we lucky enough to sing with the chorus. Congrats to them!

Cantus auditions! Congratulations to all new members for the 2022-2023 school year!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nazapalooza was next on the list. Performances from the Nightingales, Cantus, and many more filled the stage. While we have no pictures, the event was a success! The outdoor stage in front of the gym was fun for people to watch. The nearby food trucks weren't bad either!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final main event of the year was the NAHS and NAMS Spring Serenade! Performances from every choral group and the middle school blew audiences away. Here is the last group number. “Somebody To Love,” by Queen was our grand finale!
An exciting announcement at the concert was the new Four Horsemen! With 3 of the 4 members graduating, 3 more were inducted live at the concert. Congrats!

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2022!

With a few showcases for the intermediate and elementary schools, the Dudes, Four Horsemen, and other groups put music into the younger kids eyes. We think they all enjoyed it!

Here is the Nightingale and Concert Choir Executive Board for the 2022-2023 school year! Students were voted on and nominated by other students.

It is always sad when something good ends. But don’t worry! August will roll around, and we can all start singing once again. Whether your a Nightingale, a Concert Choir member, or someone not in chorus, thank you. Let’s have an AMAZING summer, and an even better year next year :D
