Sounds of the Seasons at Northvail School

Northvail Elementary School held its annual Winter Concert Wednesday, bringing holiday joy to students, faculty and staff in attendance.

The during-school event featured performances by the school's instrumental bands, glee club, tone chimers and chorus.

The show began with a performance by the Beginner Band.  

"It was amazing to hear how well the students sounded considering they have only been playing the instruments for a short while," said reading specialist Lorraine Esposito.

The Advanced Band followed, performing a series of challenging pieces.

The second half of the show included the glee club and tone chimers and ended with a performance by the chorus. Nathalia Lie, a freshman music student from Parsippany High School, accompanied on piano.

All were under the direction of Northvail's music teachers, Richard DeCicco and James Caulfield.

"The students and teachers put a lot of hard work into making the show a success," said Esposito.
