Uniform Returns

Picture
All uniforms should be returned to Nipmuc TODAY, Thursday, June 18. Please check your email for more information from administration about the schedule for the day. When you arrive to school, look for Mr. Harding, who will be set up in the Faculty Parking Lot outside the Band Room. There will be a clothing rack for you to hang up your uniform, and Mr. Harding will record the numbers that are marked on the inside of each piece. 
   Sopranos and Altos: bring your black shirt and pants, WASHED (they're machine washable), on a hanger
   Tenors and Basses: if it's possible for you to get your tux shirt and pants dry cleaned, that is helpful for the music department. However, we certainly understand that it may not be possible this year! In either case, please bring your tux shirt and pants on a hanger.

If you are unable to return your uniform on Thursday, please email Ms. Simmonds ASAP!

Weekly Feature: Student Projects

During the last 13 weeks, Chorus students have been working on a variety of projects in order to continue their musical learning. Over these last 2 weeks of school, we will feature some of these projects.

Listening Recommendation: 
Black Choral Musicians Playlist

Picture
The Spotify playlist linked here, "Black Choral Musicians," created by Justin Braun, features Black choral musicians, arrangers, composers, conductors, and ensembles. In addition to spirituals, this playlist also includes non-idiomatic choral music of Black composers from the Classical era to today.
