Festivals

Festivals take place in and around the greater Boston area and are mainly held on weekends. They are a great way to test your musical ability against some of the top players in the area. Most festivals are attended on an elective basis, however, at times your conductor will take an ensemble to a festival as a whole group. A complete list of NSHS sponsored festivals for the 2015-2016 School Year is below. Check the Information Sheet listed for each event to find out specific requirements.

Purpose – to attend the annual MICCA Festival. Students will perform for a panel of adjudicators and receive feedback on their performance in a clinic following the performance. Equally as important (if not more so) is the listening we will do for the remainder of the day. It is our expectation that students will be attending these performances until the bus departs for our return trip to Newton South.

We need 5 parent chaperones. Please email me if interested!
