Help the Nederland Loquations get to NYC

Hello Friends!

My name is Elizabeth Evans and I am so blessed to be the director of the Nederland High School Loquations. The Loquations are the select high school vocal group at NMSHS. The Loquations have a life-changing opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Swanson from the University of Colorado at Boulder on March 25th, 2024. We will arrive in NY on Saturday the 23rd and depart on Wednesday, March 27th. We will spend most of our time rehearsing, but we have the opportunity to see two Broadway shows, go to the Top of the Rock, see Central Park, Times Square and the 9/11 Memorial as well as perform at St. Patricks Cathedral.

The group has earned several gold medals at New York City competitions. They have earned superior ratings at the Cavalcade of Music, earning first place in their division and higher divisions. They have performed in the International High School A Cappella Championships, making it to the semifinals. They have performed the National Anthem at

Rockies, Rapids and Nuggets games as well as CU Men’s and Women’s Basketball Games and local events. The

music department has been a finalist for the Grammy Signature Award 17 times. Nederland MSHS has also won the

Grammy Enterprise Award. The Music Department has won the NAMM Support Music Merit Award five times. The Loquations have performed as an Honor Choir at the Colorado Music Educators Association at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs three times. We are so honored to represent Nederland by singing at the most prestigious concert venue in the country. This fundraiser will pay a little less than half of the cost for the students, but it will go a long way in helping the students get to NYC. Please consider a donation to help us get to Carnegie Hall.
