• Newton Public Schools All-City Music Ensembles provide students who have a deep commitment to singing or playing their musical instruments with an opportunity to join like-minded students from across the district in an extra-curricular performance ensemble. Students are selected by audition in the late spring or fall and rehearsals are held after-school at least one afternoon per week.

    Eligibility: Participation in an All-City Music Ensemble is restricted to students currently enrolled in Newton Public Schools and Newton students who reside in Newton and are Home Schooled.

    Participation in the All-City Music Ensembles is a fee-based extra-curricular program. Students who are selected for their ensemble will receive a registration invoice from the NPS Business office.  The annual participation fee is $150* and financial assistance waivers are available to qualifying families who apply. Registrations and fee payments will be completed online through the students' MySchoolBucks accounts.
