Algonquin’s annual Pops Night is the school’s end of year concert and the final NSBORO performance for graduating seniors. This year’s musical celebration is a week from tonight.
The event will be held Wednesday, May 28th at 7:00 pm in the high school’s gymnasium.
The concert features every instrumental and vocal ensemble in the school.
For the occasion, the 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. According to a prior year’s announcement, “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.”
(For a taste of last year’s event, scroll down to the video.)
In addition to offering a good time, the event raises funds for the Northborough-Southborough Music Association. The group is also currently recruiting parent volunteers to help setup, cleanup, ticket sales, etc. Click here to sign up.
NSMA members are each entitled to two free tickets. General admission is $10 per person. (Tickets can be purchased at the door.) The admission covers general seating in the bleachers.
For an additional $100, you can reserve a table that seats ten (though, I’m not sure if they are sold out at this point.). To purchase tickets and/or tables, click here. And to purchase a platter of sweets for the table, click here.
