It's been a tradition for almost as long as North Hills High School has been in existence - inviting NH Choir alumni to the stage at the end of the December concert to join in a performance of Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus from MESSIAH.  With safety concerns and limits on large gatherings, our traditional concert will not take place, so we are inviting interested alumni to submit a video recording to be included in our virtual choir performance!

Below, please find video links to each of the voice parts.  Music is on the screen, and your part is sung to the accompaniment track.  All you need to do is put headphones in and record yourself singing along to the video to submit!  Video submissions are due by Friday, December 4, 2020.  This will allow time for downloading, mixing audio with the full group, and adding video to the project.  The goal is to have the video posted the week of Christmas.

We changed the order of activities for the high school drama club due to starting the year virtually.  The annual Showcase was moved to the fall in anticipation of possibly taking longer to produce a musical in the spring.  Drama club members recorded themselves doing monologues and songs at the end of the first month of classes, then senior Josh Kubala compiled and edited them into one video that is now available on the HS Drama Club's YouTube channel.

“Catch Me at the Block,” NHHS Musical Comes to the Big Screen
The North Hills High School Drama Club, in partnership with the Block Northway, Ross Township Parks & Recreation and Police Departments, are pleased to present a Drive-in showing of the 2020 spring musical “Catch Me if You Can.”  The show was canceled due to building closures taking place just 5 days before it was set to open in March.  Through the district’s Athletics and Activities Return to Play plan, members of the cast and crew were able to come together for rehearsals and recording sessions in a socially distanced and safe manner, allowing the creation of a video performance.
 
On Friday and Saturday, September 25-26 at 8:00PM, the southwest parking lot (in front of Carter’s and Lands End) will be transformed into a Drive-in Movie Theater for 2 showings of the musical video.  Cars will park every other space to allow for social distancing, and several of the Block restaurants will offer a special menu of food items to be ordered ahead of time. Tables will be set up outside to pick up food orders to enjoy in vehicles while watching the show.
 
To reserve a space, visit www.nhchoiranddrama.net for access to the ShowClix online ticketing event.  Spaces are first come, first served, and will “sell out” at 100 for each night.
 
Food vendors partnering for this event include: PIADA Italian Street Food, Dave & Busters, Blaze Pizza, and Wahlburgers.  To view the menu items and instructions on how to order that night, click here.
 
The staff, cast, and crew are thankful to North Hills administration and board for allowing the creation of this video, showcasing the hard work of the talented performers.  With so much being taken away during the pandemic last spring, this is certainly something worth celebrating!

Our annual Cabaret Night was held February 21, 2020, and the video editing was almost finished when school closed for quarantine.  We were able to access the file over the summer and complete editing.  It is now posted on our NH Choir YouTube channel for you to enjoy.  Thanks to Josh Kubala for his work pulling the video together in unusal times!
