Algonquin’s annual Pops Night concert is the end of year concert. For seniors, it’s the their final NSBORO performance. Given that the annual event had a two year hiatus, next week’s concert is especially celebratory.

The big return is a week from tonight.

The concert features every instrumental and vocal ensemble in the school. For the occasion, the ARHS gym is transformed into a “Boston Pops” style venue with seating for several hundreds of guests, including reserved round tables on the floor.

It’s a bit more light and colorful than the school’s usual formal black and white affairs:

The musical selections are also different from a typical school concert. Pops Night features music from movie soundtracks, musical theater, and pop tunes ranging from rock to jazz.
