Happy Australia Day! 🇦🇺 Let’s celebrate with a look back to our Prelude Level performing "Kookaburra"—a beloved Australian song about the cheerful bird known for its distinctive laugh. As we celebrate this vibrant culture, the NCC's Senior Division can't wait for the upcoming adventure down under for our 9th International Tour this July! 🎶🐨

Our Spring 2025 season is now in full swing, and we couldn't be more thrilled! Over the past week, we reconnected with familiar faces and met many talented young singers who joined the NCC for the first time. With the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, our LA Chapter met virtually, coming together to sing on with resilience and hope. We are looking forward to a season filled with music, growth, and community! 🎶✨
