• Campana Jazz Festival Saturday 2/10

Announcements for orchestra:

-Ask your parents to sign up to be chaperones and equipment drivers for the Homestead Orchestra Festival Friday 2/9

Reminders:

1. Don’t yell over the class to get attention for announcements! Be standing tall in the front right as the bell goes off, then wait for everyone to be quiet. In simple terms, if you are not respectful to your classmates, they will not care about what you have to say.

2. An easy way to grab people’s attention before announcements is to ask for everyone to show their pencils.

3. Be concise and if possible, try to make it fun! Class periods are short and we all know how annoying long and boring lectures can be.

4. For those classes with multiple BOSS reps, you guys can announce together and split up the work.

Why do we need BOSS? What do they do?

BOSS is the student-extension of NIMB (Northgate Instrumental Music Boosters), a 501(c)3 nonprofit which aims to support and fund Northgate’s highly-decorated and dearly held instrumental music program.

Why should I join BOSS?

BOSS is a rewarding experience that combines students' passion for music with service to the school. BOSS is a way for instrumental music students to contribute to the band program and the greater outside community.

For those who are looking to complete school projects or meet a certain number of volunteer hours for an award, BOSS can be both an enjoyable and gratifying avenue to achieve that.

If you enjoy instrumental music, BOSS is the best way to make a direct impact on the performing arts community at Northgate High School.

When and where are BOSS meetings?

BOSS meetings are the second Wednesday of the month at lunchtime in the instrumental music room.
