 Dear Unit 5 Music Families, The Unit 5 Musical Arts Extravaganza is the 2021 concert and fundraiser, sponsored by the Unit 5 Music Department and the McLean County Unit 5 Music Parents Association. In the past this annual fundraiser was a Spaghetti Supper that allowed families to financially support the music programs by purchasing tickets for a spaghetti meal and enjoying the talents of their children in a musical performance.Covid-19 has eliminated our ability to hold the supper portion of our event and changed the fundraising approach.Fortunately our students get to showcase their talents with musical performances from 5:30-9:00 pm at NCHS. In lieu of the spaghetti supper to raise funds, we are simply asking for your generous financial donation for these important programs. Many programs have large financial short-falls due to the pandemic.The best part of the fundraiser is that 100% of your donation will go directly to support the Unit 5 music programs and Unit 5 Music Parents Association! Our programs desperately need your financial support and every donation helps! Perhaps you could donate enough to cover a piece of music ($150). You might consider donating what you would have spent at the spaghetti supper; approximately $10 per dinner ticket. All donations made to U5MP are deductible charitable donations and you will receive a receipt for your donation. Your donations help to support the music programs with the following expenses:

Call Times:
Uniform:
Treble Choir: will wear school-owned robes (they do not come home with students). They must be dressed in all black from the knees down. I suggest a pair of black tights with shorts and a t-shirt. Students must also wear black dress shoes (flats preferred).
Students in tuxedos: please make sure pants are hemmed appropriately. Please do not cut any fabric when hemming. Make sure to have bow tie, black dress shoes, and black socks.
Students in dresses: hem dresses at floor length (without touching floor). Please do not cut any fabric when hemming. Black dress shoes should be worn (flats preferred).
Other important notes:
This is a graded class expectation. Students must stay for the entire performance to receive full credit, unless a school-related conflict is discussed with Mr. Luginbuhl BEFORE the concert date. Work is not an excused conflict.
All spectators and students will be required to wear a mask to attend the concert.
The program will be videotaped and will either be livestreamed on YouTube or will be uploaded by the next day on YouTube.
Finally, please view this video created by our student leadership team for some important concert information. : )
