 The 9th annual North Hills High School Choir Madrigal Dinner, presented by the Choral Parents Association, will take place on Friday, December 6, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria B side. (Please note this is a date and location change from what was originally published.)
The cafeteria will be transformed into a Renaissance era castle banquet hall and the evening will include a royal procession, singing and entertainment. The evening will include a home-cooked pasta meal (thanks to a donation by DeLallo Foods) served by choir members, while the Madrigal Players will present a 15th century-style skit in period costumes with music provided by the Madrigal Choir composed of North Hills students. This year's skit presented during dinner, "A Knight to Remember," features several scenes involving the royal court, jesters, pages, and a slightly deaf Ancient Knight with arguments about whether the earth is flat, plays on words, and plenty of jokes sure to keep the audience laughing. Following the meal, Madrigal Choir members will perform a mini concert of traditional holiday carols. Raffle baskets will be available during the evening. Proceeds will benefit the North Hills Choral Program's continuing activities including this spring's music department tour to Busch Gardens, Virginia. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased with a credit card or reserved online at www.nhchoiranddrama.net or by calling the North Hills Athletics and Activities office at 412-318-1438. Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly encouraged. Our Madrigal Dinner is quickly approaching - THIS FRIDAY at 6:30PM in the High School Cafeteria B Side! Thank you so much to all who have already signed up to donate items or time for our fundraising event. We already have about 40 reservations, so pass the word along that folks can go to www.nhchoiranddrama.net to reserve a seat (and pay at the door) or use a credit card and purchase tickets online.
Our high school student-run men's ensemble, Arrow, is scheduled to perform at 2:30pm on Saturday, December 7 at the North Hills Cares "Community of Music" event to be held in the Block Northway.   The High School Spring Musical announcement of "Catch Me if You Can" was made on Sunday, November 10. An audition information meeting was held on Wednesday, November 13 after school. All materials distributed are posted under the DRAMA tab on the 2020 musical page.

While the tour information will be for those traveling with the choir (band and orchestra have a separate meeting as we run similar schedules but details like hotels and buses differ), we can use help from all families to make our Madrigal Dinner and Cabaret Nights successful. We would like to ask that a representative from each choir family attend if possible. As the saying goes, "many hands make light work!" We hope to see you next week! ________________________________ visit us online Steve Karpinksi, president Michele Snyder, treasurer Shaun Cloonan, director |
