Northfield Youth Choirs

Our office is now accepting registrations for Encore! music camps, for singers entering grades 2-4 and 5-9. Space is limited. See our website for details, brochure, and registration information.

Con Brio has been invited to sing for the annual gathering of the Northfield Ecumenical Women (NEW) and the Fellowship of the Least Coin, on Sat., May 3, at 9:30 a.m. at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. The singers will meet to rehearse in the sanctuary at 8:45 a.m. and will be done by about 9:45 a.m. This comes on a busy NYC weekend. We are very careful not to schedule performances “just for performance sake” and we feel this is one of those lovely opportunities which will be rewarding for our girls and a gift to those in the audience.

Our mothers and grandmothers are invited to enjoy this worship and learning experience as well and are encouraged to come for good food and good company! If you would like more information, call Hazel Peterson at 645-9276 or Phyllis Swanson at 645-4231.

In the NYC, we strive for a unified sound AND look when we perform. To achieve this during our concerts, we ask the following:

• All Girls: Wear solid black, low-heeled or flat dress shoes. (No sandals, open toes, boots, tennis shoes, thick soles, clogs, spiked heels, sling backs.)
• Treble, Concert and Chorale Girls: Wear off-black sheer nylons. If your uniform includes a scarf, make sure the fringe is in good shape.
• Poco and Jr. Singer Girls: Wear black opaque tights.
• All Boys: Wear black dress socks and shoes (no sandals or slip-ons).
• Hair: Should appear a natural color (no extreme-colored dye) and be simply done, always away from the face. Girls that wear barrettes or headbands should keep them hair-colored with no flowers, bows or extreme adornments that will stand out from hair.
• Jewelry: If you have pierced ears, wear simple studs. No other jewelry is allowed with concert dress (this includes necklaces, bracelets, ankle bracelets, watches, friendship bracelets and rings).
• Face: Natural lip color. No glitter or dark eye-make-up.

The NYC is now proudly participating in the Adopt A Highway program. See our new sign on Highway 246, between reference marker 3-5, just past the high school. Keep an eye out for news of our spring clean-up day!

It’s time to collect music and bags! Before you return your bag, please remove any garbage or personal belongings.
Music and bags will be collected on the following dates:

• Junior Singers, Treble and Concert Choir members: Monday, April 28th during our last regular rehearsal.
