Pops Concert/Valentine's Day 2018

 Phew!  We did it!  With several snow days, late starts, and early dismissals the Pops Concert was tough to get ready for.  However, it all came together and we put on a super fun concert!

 The theme this year was LOVE which was appropriate because the concert took place on the eve of Valentine's Day.

  The high school band, under the direction of Mr. Hilborn, started the show with music from "West Side Story", a beautiful version of "Unchained Melody" and a fantastic medley with music from "The Little Mermaid".

 After a quick scene change, the vocal groups took the stage!

First up -- NoteWorthy!

Crescendudes

Nightingales

Chorale

Concert Choir

A few candids....

Love the bow ties and suspenders!

A few videos!

NoteWorthy is continuing to spread the love today by delivery Singing Grams all over the high school.

Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Davis!!

District Chorus 2017

  Another one is in the books!  A record breaking 11 Nazareth students traveled to Blue Mountain High School on January 25th to participate in the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association District 10 Chorus Festival.  They joined students from the rest of the district to work under the direction of Dr. Samuel Barbara from Portland Community College in Oregon.

Auditions were over -- they could now relax!!!

Congrats to District and County Chorus Students!

The NAHS Choral department is off to a great and busy year!

Eleven NAHS students successfully auditioned into the highly competitive Pennsylvania Music Educators Association District 10 Chorus.  Approximately 800 students from 65 schools converged on Parkland High School in October to audition for a coveted spot in the choir.  With eleven students, Nazareth ranked 4^th in schools to send the most students.  The festival will take place at Blue Mountain High School from January 25^th – 27^th.  The guest conductor will be Dr. Samual Barbara from Westminster College.  Pictured below are the students representing Nazareth at the District Chorus Festival.
