Due to the amount of student schedule conflicts with our Awards Night, we have decided to cancel the event for this year. We will set aside time in class to celebrate our accomplishments, view the slideshow and hand out awards, certificates, etc.

• WHEN:  Sunday, May 7, 1:00 pm (Original date was changed from May 6th.)

• 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.
  
• Dress is concert black – uniforms for orchestra strings, black shirt, black tie, black dress pants or knee-length or longer black skirt or dress – black socks and shoes for all!
  
• Carnival Workers have 2 shifts: 11 a.m.-1 p.m. = set-up; 1 p.m.-4 p.m. = run a booth and clean up afterward.  Wear orchestra shirts or Millard North shirts and jeans/pants of your choice.
  
• Any questions – contact Mrs. Martinez
