Norman North Band Booster Assoc

The Norman North High School Band traveled to New York City to participate in the Big Apple Classic Music Festival. The students performed and were adjudicated by professional judges. Students toured New York City visiting places such as Times Square Rockefeller Center 911 Memorial and the Statue of Liberty. Students also attended a Broadway production and a New York Philharmonic Orchestra performance. This was the first time many students had flown on an airplane attended a live Broadway performance and traveled without family. This helped build a stronger bond among band members as they experienced these new things as a group. The students also worked together in preparing their performance in which they won the top adjudication and received recognition for their work. This was motivating and helped build a sense of community among the group. Overall it was a positive experience for the band members and directors.
