What does the NPAPA do?
Fundraises primarily through membership in order to:
- award annual scholarships ($3,950 was awarded to performing arts students in 2022-2023)
- provide grants for music and theater study
- underwrite guest artists to work and speak with students
- assist training for drum majors in marching band
- contribute to students’ fundraising initiatives
- offer lunch to students on middle school visit days
- provide opportunities for social meet and greet events after concerts
- commission new instrumental composition for NV
In recent years, we supported a special initiative “Prelude to Piano” which helped the school acquire a new Steinway grand piano for the department.
NPAPA also works closely with the performing arts faculty and
- act as liaison between faculty and parents
- provide support for the teachers’ curriculum needs
- coordinate and volunteer at events such as concerts, plays and musicals
NPAPA takes a very proactive role in representing the best interests of the music and theater programs to the talented students, dedicated faculty, supporting school and the community.
