North Battleford Comprehensive High School Band to perform in New York
North Battleford Comprehensive High School Band hope to show off their skills when they head off to perform in New York City next year.
About 28 students from Grades 8 to 12 in the band are currently fundraising for their big trip next spring coming up March 14 to 18. Six chaperones will also attend with the students. The kids will stay in a New Jersey hotel and travel to Manhattan each day.
“It’s going to be crazy busy,” band instructor Jackie Kroczynski said. “Their schedules are full – all day. Everyone will be good and tired when we get home.”
The students have been selling Christmas poinsettias and wreaths to raise funds for the trip, and next plan to hold a bottle drive. Then, on Feb. 13, 2024 they will put on a Mardi Gras coffee house fundraiser at the high school.
