First Annual Nashobapalooza
For the arts, our community came together Saturday, April 27, to create, collaborate, and imagine at Nashoba Brooks School's first-ever music festival, Nashobapalooza. It was a tremendous success.
A record-setting crowd of 400+ attendees gathered despite the rainy weather for an afternoon of celebration that included lawn games, face painting, a tie-dye T-shirt station, and more.
In the Wallace Dining Commons, guests were treated to delicious food from local community vendors, including ice-cream from Reasons to be Cheerful, freshly baked bread from Nashoba Brook Bakery, and hor d'oeuvres from local eateries including Saltbox Farm, 8- Thoreau, Adelita, and Lavender Bee Baking Company.
The highlight of the day took place inside the Achtmeyer Gymnasium, where performances by Nashoba Notes, Jazz Band, Advanced Ensemble, World Music, Grade 6 Choir, Grade 3, and Kindergarten took center stage. Our students displayed their talents as they sang and played a variety of instruments that carried music into the afternoon. The final act of the day was the Employee Band, featuring a rousing rendition of "La Bamba" performed by a talented group of Nashoba Brooks teachers.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting inaugural event. This day would not have been possible without our amazing community.
