2019 Info

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.

Here are ways you can help:

1. Lottery/Lotto tickets.  We are hoping to have a lottery tree along with our raffle baskets.  If we could have choir families bring in lottery tickets, they can be turned in to the appropriately labeled drawer in the front of the choir room.  Please put it in an envelope with the name of the choir student or family.
2. Desserts.  On Friday, we will need an assortment of dessert items to serve our guests.  We're asking each choir family to donate a dessert item (store-bought is fine or homemade!).  Pies, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, whatever you'd like.  We will plate everything ahead of time and have them on trays for the servers to take to each table.  Dessert items can be brought in Friday morning (if they don't need to be refrigerated) to the choir room, dropped off right after school, or brought to the cafeteria after 3:00pm.
3. Volunteers & Donations.  There are still several spaces on the SignUp Genius for items to be donated, but specifically for volunteers to work the raffle basket table, help with food preparation (salads, plating food, etc.).  Please click this link to see if there is anything you can donate or any time you can give to help the night be a success.
4. Attend! Even if you can't donate or volunteer, we hope you can attend with your family and friends to support our choir and the students who are performing.  It's a great night to get you in the holiday spirit.

For students participating in the skit, the schedule for this week is as follows:

Friday's schedule for everyone:
Volunteers for set-up/decorating may access the cafeteria beginning at 3:00 after the custodians have finished cleaning.  We are in the B side, which is the back of the building (less windows to give more of a castle look)

3:00-5:00 - Set up cafeteria and decorate, organize raffle baskets, 50/50, desserts

Also, on a different matter, Friday is also the deadline for submitting commitment forms and $25 deposits for the Virginia music department performance tour in April 2020. The information packet can be found here.  Please submit the commitment form & payment in an envelope with the student name on the front to the drawer labeled Virginia 2020.
