High School Choirs "Front Porch" Spring Concert
Wednesday, May 19 at 7:00pm in the High School Main Entrance & Parking Lot
Join the North Hills High School Symphonic Choir and Chorale in a socially distanced outdoor concert on the "front porch" of the high school!  This is the first time the choirs have performed live and in person since the December 2019 holiday concert.  Each ensemble will present 3 selections, seniors will be recognized, and the combined choir will share a song -- all from the main entrance area of the high school under the library overhang.

Audience members are encouraged to bring a chair, sit under the flag pole, and hear the sounds of our choirs who have rehearsed in the most unique and challenging conditions of any other school year!  Note that for safety, the bus lane and front of the parking lot will be blocked off to allow for seating.  Those attending are encouraged to park by the baseball field and middle school and walk over.

Drama Club to present Streamed Spring Musical, “Songs for a New World”

4/6/2021

 
High School Drama Club to present Streamed Spring Musical, “Songs for a New World”
 
As with most things during the pandemic, the North Hills High School Drama Club had to get creative with how to produce the annual spring musical. With Songs for a New World, the audience will experience a show unlike any produced on the North Hills stage! 
 
In partnership with Music Theatre International and ShowTix4U.com, the pre-recorded and edited show will be streamed as a “live” event at 7:00pm on Friday, April 16 and Saturday, April 17, 2021.  Access to the stream can be purchased for $10 per device per night at https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/49874
 
About Songs for a New World
This contemporary song cycle weaves characters and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery.  
 
It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice... or take a stand... or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs for a New World. The first musical from Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County), this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love, and the choices that we make.
 
About the NHHS Production
In addition to the song cycle featuring singers and dancers, the streamed production will include performances of several monologues that fit thematically with the songs.  Students performers were coached via Zoom, and the monologues will be presented before each act of the show.
 
Rehearsals have taken place following all COVID protocols outlined in the NHSD Athletic & Activities Return to Play Safety Plan.  Recording took place over a 4-day period to limit the number of students in one location.  Students who have experience from participation in the high school TV production classes coordinated video recording and editing of the final product under the supervision of the directors.
