NORTH CREEK HIGH SCHOOL

Welcome! 

For the safety and enjoyment of all concert attendees, please note the following:

• Silence your mobile devices

• Remain seated and  quiet during performances

Land Acknowledgement 

We acknowledge that the Northshore School District functions on Coast Salish lands in the areas that have been colonized, occupied, and renamed to Bothell, Kenmore, Redmond, and Woodinville. We acknowledge the experiences of genocide, forced relocation, ethnic cleansing, and land theft of Indigenous peoples and sacred lands so we can build our awareness of how settler colonization still exists today. We honor the ways of knowing and ways of being of Indigenous peoples and tribal nations, who are still here and thriving, in our district-community.

Congratulations to Solo and Ensemble Finalists. 

North Creek High School music students performed very well at the 2026 Northlake Regional Solo and Ensemble Contest. One entry from NCHS won first place in its division and will compete at the state solo and ensemble contest in April. Several more entries were named as 1st or 2nd alternates for the state contest. Congratulations to these outstanding student musicians!

WINNERS

Claire Huang - Piano Solo, Winner

ALTERNATES

Neel Khilnani - Baritone Saxophone Solo, 1st Alternate

Music Boosters Information

Hello and welcome to our Mid-Winter Band Concert!

We are excited for this music filled evening! It is always a privilege to enjoy the music created by our hardworking Jag Musicians!

For those of you who don’t know, Instrumental Music Boosters is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that works to support our Instrumental Music students and teachers through volunteer efforts and financial contributions. 

Our organization needs you! Parent support is key to our success in supporting our music program. As a non-profit organization, we do have elected officers that run our booster group. We need a new parent director, treasurer and two JBC committee members to continue as a functioning booster group next year. Maybe being a member of the board isn’t for you? We also need volunteers to organize fundraisers, be part of the scholarship committee, facilitate new gear and help plan events. If any of these opportunities sound like something you could help with, please reach out using the contact information listed below. 

We want to thank each and every one of you that has supported Instrumental Music Boosters. Your actions and funds have directly impacted our student musicians and we are grateful to be able to be there for them and the program.
