The newest member of our MNHS Music Faculty!  Mrs. Hoffmann joins us as our new Assistant Vocal Music Director. She will also be on hand during first- and second-hour orchestra! Because we were able to add a new faculty member to our music department, we have been able to add a new section of Symphony Orchestra! There are now 2 sections for Symphony – one during 2nd hour and one during 6th hour. Both sections will learn the same curriculum and same concert repertoire but will have the benefit of (slightly:) smaller class sizes, more personalized instruction opportunities, and more scheduling options.

• WHERE: MNHS Cafeteria and Auditorium 

• We are performing Howl’s Moving Castle, Top Gun Theme, Journey’s Greatest Hits, Never Gonna Give You Up, School Song, Sweet Caroline, and the MNHS School Song. 
  
• This is a required performance for seniors, but not a required performance for string players grades 9-11, HOWEVER, it is important to have good participation and instrument representation.  This is part of our community outreach, so it’s important to make a good impression!
  
• Winds and percussion – thank you for playing!
  
• Performers need to be ready to play by 1:00 p.m., so you will need to arrive by 12:30 to perform or by noon to set up.
