INTERNATIONAL NIGHT BETA CONVENTION

Georgia’s Beta convention took place from Jan. 25 to 27. Many Northview Beta members placed in their events, with senior Eric Liu, sophomore Rachel Park, junior Anya Biswas, senior Hellie Chen, and freshman Michelle Park placing first in their respective events. Northview’s Beta Club has attended the Beta convention every year since 2016, and those who place in the top five at the convention can move on to the National Beta competition.

“It was incredibly inspiring to see the teamwork and artwork from schools around Georgia and especially Northview’s involvement in it,” Chen said. “Getting lost and missing ferries were all a part of the experience, but they made it all the more fun.”

Midwest Clinic

During winter break in December 2022, Northview’s chamber orchestra attended the 76th Midwest Clinic in Chicago. Directed by Jeremy Woolstenhulme, the 49 performers performed pieces in front of an audience to celebrate their selection for the event. Other high schools in the Johns Creek, Ga., area joined Northview in Chicago, exploring the city and workshopping their music. Pieces Northview performed include music from “La La Land,” “Dance of Youth,” and “Fiddle Fury,” but the orchestra also played classical pieces like “Symphony No. 1, Op. 25 ‘Classical’: 1st movement” as well.

“This whole experience opened up my perspective as a violist, and it was very fun to be in Chicago with friends,” senior Jaehyun Im said.
