Can You Help Bring The University of Illinois School of Music Here to North Hills by Housing a Student Musician for 1 Night?
 
We have been contacted by the University of Illinois School of Music. Their band and choir, one of the finest in the country, will be traveling through Pittsburgh on April 13, 2018 en route to a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
 
Based on the reputation of our music program across the country, their first choice for a collaboration is here at North Hills. This partnership would include their faculty working with our students during the afternoon. Their ensembles would then present a free concert that evening, which may also include performances by our North Hills student musicians.
 
To make this event possible, we are seeking home stay placements for their 100 student musicians while here in Pittsburgh.
 
How does a Home Stay Placement work?
  • University of Illinois Music students would be picked up at North Hills Middle School by their host family following the concert on Friday, April 13, 2018 (about 9 PM). We invite all of our host families to the concert!
  • University of Illinois students would be housed with the family overnight
  • Host families would provide a light breakfast (e.g. fruit/cereal/granola bars/muffins) and then return the University of Illinois students to North Hills Middle on the morning of Saturday, April 14, 2018 by 7:30 AM. The students are with their hosts for less than 12 hours.
  • Hosting 2 students works well for helping the students to feel comfortable in a new place. Couches, air mattresses, or spare beds are all fine accommodations.
  • Since these are college-age student musicians, no additional paperwork is necessary other than completing the link below.
 
To commit to hosting the University of Illinois, we need to show that we can accommodate their 100 students for the evening. Click the survey link below if you are able to assist as a host home.  If you cannot house students yourself, please share this information with grandparents, friends, and neighbors whose children have moved out and now have empty bedrooms. They make wonderful hosts for these young aspiring musicians.
 
We will decide on Monday, November 6th if we have enough volunteers to welcome the University of Illinois School of Music here to North Hills.
 
Thank you for your consideration.

Fall Play: "Pride & Prejudice"

10/20/2017

 
Picture
North Hills High School Drama Club will present “Pride and Prejudice” based on the beloved literary classic on Nov. 9 to 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the North Hills High School auditorium. A special free senior citizen matinee will be held on Nov. 11 at 1:30 p.m.
Pride and Prejudice is a streamlined theatrical version of Jane Austen’s classic novel involving manners, courtship and relationships. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, all feelings of attraction are muted by his pride and her prejudice. As their worlds keep colliding, their attraction increases. But they first must overcome their own weaknesses and many other obstacles before the most famous courtship in history can begin.
Tickets for the evening productions are $6 for adults and $4 for students and senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased at the door for all performances.
Senior citizens who reside in North Hills School District may attend the matinee for free on Nov. 11 at 1:30 p.m. by reserving a ticket. To reserve a senior citizen matinee ticket, contact North Hills School District Activities Coordinator Chelle Zimmerman at 412-318-1438 or zimmermanm@nhsd.net.

Fall Collage Concert - October 18

10/10/2017

 
Picture
The high school music department will hold its first concert of the school year featuring instrumental and choral ensembles on Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. in the North Hills Middle School auditorium.  The collage concert provides an opportunity for high school ensembles to collaborate on joint performances of pieces: the chamber strings and women’s choir, symphonic choir and wind symphony, and combined choirs with the wind ensemble.  Audience members can expect not only traditional instrumental and choral works to be performed such as marches and a cappella spirituals, but also lighter and familiar selections including music by the Beatles and Andrew Lloyd Webber.  Rounding out the performance will be a set by the Allegheny Brass Band, who regularly collaborates with the high school band program, providing a music scholarship each year to a North Hills student.
