NHS students help kids grow as musicians, prepare for Band Extravaganza

NCSD bands set for Monday night performance

It’s that time of the year again when Newton plays host to one of the biggest, most eclectic jam sessions put up under one roof: it’s time for “Band Extravaganza.”

This once-a-year special concert takes place in the Newton Senior High School gym on Monday at 7 p.m. and features all of the district’s bands under one roof.

Jim Beerends will lead the NHS Wind Ensemble and NHS Symphonic Band. Deb Stoulil is in charge of the fifth and sixth grade bands, and Seth Banwell is in charge of the seventh and eighth grade bands. These bands will perform two individual sets apiece, playing everything from “Homework Blues” to “Friend Like Me.” They will cap it all off with a mass band performance of sixth graders through seniors playing “Heroic Fanfare and March” and “Zap!”
