Concert Etiquette
MEMO
TO:
Audience

3.
Children who study music tend to have larger vocabularies and more
advanced reading skills than their peers who do not participate in
music lessons.
Research shows that music is to the brain as physical exercise is to
the human body.
A study from Columbia University revealed that students who study
arts are more cooperative with their teachers and peers, have higher
levels self-confidence, and are more equipped to express themselves
and their ideas.
We thank our hosts today, the principals and music teachers, as well as
the numerous Norwin parent and community volunteers who provide
never-ending support to our developing musicians. They all deserve our
profound gratitude.
Best wishes for an enjoyable evening, and please continue to keep music
and the performing arts in a prominent place in your lives, both now and
in the future!

Concert Etiquette
Thank you for joining us this evening. As the audience, you are an important
part of tonights concert. The audiences responsibility at formal concerts is
to honor the efforts of the performers by providing a listening atmosphere in
which all can appreciate their performance. To that end, we ask your
cooperation:
Please make sure all cell phones and electronic devices are turned off.
Cell phones can interfere with wireless microphones
and recording equipment, as well as create unwanted noise.
If very young children become restless and disrupt others ability to listen,
please take them from the auditorium until they are quiet.
We have all worked very hard to prepare an exceptional evening of music for
everyone to enjoy. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance in helping this
to be a wonderful experience for all of us!

From 2002-2006 Mr. Ian Morrison was appointed band director. Under the
direction of Ian Morrison the Norwin Marching Band remained competitive
and a new focus was brought to the Concert Ensembles of the Norwin Band
Program paving the way for the successes of the current Wind Ensemble and
Concert Band.
Mr. Robert Traugh was band director from 2007 through 2013, assisted by Mr.
Gregory Ondayko and Associate Director Mrs. Kimberly Glover. The Norwin
Percussion Ensemble performed at the PMEA State Convention in 2009 and
in 2013, as well as at the 2011 MENC All-East Convention. At PMEA State
Adjudications the Norwin Concert Band received excellent ratings in 2008,
2009, & 2010, culminating in a superior rating in 2011. The Norwin Wind
Ensemble received superior ratings in 2008, 2009, 2010, & 2011 at PMEA
State Adjudications. The Norwin Jazz Ensemble in 2008 received accolades
at the Slippery Rock Jazz Festival for best Saxophone Section, Best Rhythm
Section, Best Trombone Section, and Best Trumpet Section. In 2008 the
Norwin Marching Band performed at the Bands of America Super Regional in
St. Louis and placed in the top ten at finals. In 2012 the marching band swept
Bands of America Regional Championships in Monroeville (PA), Akron (OH),
and Towson (MD), including high music, visual, and general effect captions.
Mr. Timothy Daniels began his tenure as director in 2013. Since then, Norwin
has taken first place in Class AAA in 2013 and in Class AA in 2014 at the
Bands of America Regional Championships at Gateway, bringing home the
Championship in 2013. In 2014, they earned the Championship trophy from
the Bands of America Regional Championships at Newark, Delaware. Norwin
also won the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Marching Band Association (PIMBA)
Class AAAA competition in 2013 and 2014, sweeping all three captions. The
2015 marching season was capped off by winning the USBands Group VI
Open Class National Championship.
The band program continues to grow and new levels of performance
excellence are set every year and in every ensemble at Norwin High School.
The Norwin Band has come a long way from the first 28 member group
under the direction of Mr. Winters. This organization has seen thousands of
students come through the program and each of them take into their lives
experiences gained only by participation in this program.
I devote my strength and presence to all those by my side;
With tradition in my heart, I continue on with pride;
We are musicians, performers, artists of sound and sight;
Presence, pride, artistry. We move forward Norwin Knights.
