    It's Winter Concert Season!! 
     
    The 6th grade band and chorus concert is scheduled for Tuesday December 4th at 7pm. Band students should arrive at 6:45pm to get ready for the performance. 
     
    The dress for the concert is formal. 
    Boys: Dress Pants, Dress Shirt, Tie, and Dress Shoes.

    The band will be having rehearsal after school this Wednesday November 28th and next Monday December 3rd. The rehearsals are from 3 until 3:40 and students can ride the late bus home if needed. These rehearsals are mandatory and they are crucial to the success of our winter concert. Due to our schedule at Northley these two rehearsals are the only opportunity the students have to play together as a whole band before the concert. 
     
    Please contact me if your student has a major conflict with the rehearsal dates or the concert. 
     
     
     
     
      
    The Northley Steelpan Ensemble will not have rehearsal on Monday December 3rd due to the band rehearsal.

    If you would like to take an inside look at what we do in the general music classroom, there is a "Class Videos" tab to the left.

    It contains videos from all grade levels and demonstrates what students can accomplish.

     

     

    The Northley Steelpan Ensemble rehearses on Mondays from 3PM until 4:30PM all school year.

     

     

      

    All Students Will Need A Folder For General Music And Band!
    Within the first few days of each marking period students will need to bring in a folder for class.
    The folder will stay in the classroom and contain all of their materials.
