In a recent interview the director of our youngest choir, Sarah Van Hoy, was asked the question; What keeps you passionate about your continuing work with NCYC?

"For me, it's seeing the light bulbs go off. And it's watching the progress to go from, okay, we're getting together and I don't know you and we're going to sing this song. And then all of a sudden it becomes, wow, we all know this music together. And oh, we started together and we stopped together and everything just felt like we were one. And those magical moments, especially for the youngest children who are just starting on this choral journey, It's just really neat to see. It's neat to see them get excited in that moment. So I live for that. Plus we just have a good time. "

You can help us turn on even more light bulbs with your donation. Our goal is to bring as many children and youth into this amazing world of singing together.

Donations accepted through May 7th.

NCYC kicked off Big Day of Giving with our annual Sing-a-thon. We celebrated American music ( it our 250th birthday this year!). "This Land is Your Land", "Home on the Range", "You are My Sunshine," Country Road" and "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain" were just a few in our over two hours of singing led by Mr. Sharky! Lots of singing games with Ms. Van Hoy and performances by each of the choirs completed the morning.

Singers earned raffle tickets based on the amount of money they raised. Every singer had a ticket to place in their prize basket of choice. Lots of celebrations when raffle ticket numbers were called!

Many thanks to our donors and to our singers for their diligent work in support of the mission of NCYC.

There is still time to donate! https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/organization/Ncycsings

For the past 5 years, NCYC has had singers attend SFYCA. One young lady in the front row has attending for two years! The conductor, Dr. Armstrong is not only a world class teacher / conductor he is the kind of person you want influencing your singer. He teaches about life through the music. I highly recommend this experience for all high school singers!
