Northfield Youth Choirs

Looking for a really unique way to wish someone a happy Valentines Day? Look no further! Northfield Youth Choir members in Chorale and Concert Choir will again be “delivering” musical greetings over the phone on Feb. 14th, from approximately 5 to 9 p.m. The cost for NYC Singing Valentines is only $5 for local calls; long distance calls are $10 (anywhere in the U.S.). All profits go toward lowering the spring tour expenses for these two choirs. It’s a great surprise for your sweetheart, grandparents, teachers and long-lost friends & relatives!

Order one of two ways by Mon., Feb. 11:

1. From a Chorale/Concert Choir member: Payments of check (payable to NYC) or cash should be given to the singer at the time that you order.
2. By mail: Send us a note, and be sure to include the sender’s name, as well as the recipient’s name and phone number. You may also include a special message and the best time to reach the recipient. Send instructions and payment to NYC, PO Box 460, with “valentine” on your check memo.

Thanks in advance for supporting the NYC!

On Dec., 8th, Chorale members are invited to stay in concert attire and carpool to the Northfield Arts Guild Festival of Trees Party after the winter concert. We’ll be singing from 6:45 to 7:30 pm. Afterwards, all carolers are invited to Liz’s house for a bite to eat and to share their music with the NYC staff and board. You can be picked up at the NAG at 7:30 or at Liz’s at approx. 8:30.

At our Sat. morning rehearsal (12/8), all choirs (except Poco a Poco) will turn in fall music and folders. When you get to Skinner Chapel, look for a box labeled with the name of your choir. Please keep your black bags and bring them to the first rehearsal in January. Remember that singers are responsible for lost or damaged music. Thank you for your help in caring for this valuable choir resource!
