NYC and Salt Lake City, Here We Come!

Earlier this morning approximately 80 Nipmuc students boarded buses on their way to a wonderful weekend in New York City. Under the supervision of Mr. MacFadden and Mrs. Ledoux, our student-musicians are preparing for three days of musical instruction, performance, sightseeing, and culture.

The group's original plan for their departure had them leaving for the city around 7am this morning. After learning that their first performance of the weekend had been moved to earlier this morning, they needed to move their departure time to 5am. As a result the students' weekend started a little earlier than planned with an overnight lock-in held at the school last evening. After spending the night at the school, they boarded the buses and hit the road before the sun had come up for the day.

They have a great trip planned. By 11am this morning they will be at a performance at a chapel in the city. By 1pm they will be on their way to a tour of New York. The remainder of the trip includes Broadway workshops, enjoying a showing of The Lion King, performances for the band and chorus, and visiting the 9/11 Memorial. I'm sure it will be a fantastic weekend. Check out the itinerary below:



Good luck, also, to our seventeen DECA students who are leaving on Saturday for the annual international competition to be held in Salt Lake City. Earlier this spring, 106 Nipmuc students competed at the state DECA competition in Boston. This event provides our business and marketing students a chance to put their projects and entrepreneurial efforts up against other students from across the state. After this competition, we were thrilled to have our largest group of qualifiers for international competition in the school's history.

It is extremely exciting to have so many students competing at the international competition. We wish the following competitors the best as they prepare for six days of excitement in Utah: Julia Accorsini, Cynthia Garabedian, Erika Greenwood, Aaron Larouco, Dana Perry, Ryan McFadden, Stephen Pihl, Tanor Jobe, Christopher Desilets, Maren Chiburis, Adam Ferrucci, William Johnson, Emily Ciantra, Marissa DePolo, Daniel Consigli, Crain Ellis, and Andrew Morin.


Thank you to Mr. Perras and Ms. Soto for chaperoning this event with our students.
