Annual Pops Concert

Mr. MacFadden conducts
the jazz ensemble

Congratulations to the Nipmuc Music Department for another successful performance of the annual pops concert. Led by Mr. MacFadden and Mrs. Ledoux, Nipmuc's band, chorus, percussion ensemble, jazz ensemble, after school chorus, and a cappella group put on memorable performances of some of our favorite pieces of popular music.

The concert was filled with a number of highlights including the band's opening piece from the soundtrack to Braveheart, a spontaneous flash mob by the Nipmuc chorus, and a reprise of the percussion ensemble's award-winning performance of "Bailando La Soca." Some of the other standout moments from the performance included "Twist and Shout" from the jazz ensemble, the harmonies of a cappella's "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," and a harmonious arrangement of "I Carry Your Heart" by the after school chorus.

The Nipmuc band and chorus are comprised of approximately 180 musicians and vocalists. They continue to be a great source of pride for our school and an important part of the culture at Nipmuc Regional.

Congratulations to all on a wonderful night!
