Practice-athon
Practice-athon takes place the month leading up to Springfest, in which students ask friends and family to sponsor their practice time in preparation for their performance.
In addition to providing extra motivation to practice, the proceeds from Practice-athon benefit NCMC’s scholarship fund and students get fun stuff just for participating! Students will have the opportunity to win a number of prizes and all who participate are invited to a pizza party on June 5th! All those who have at least 5 sponsors will receive a fun and fluffy practice pal!
Practice-athon 2025 runs from
April 15th - May 15th.
Practice-athon forms are available in the NCMC lobby and at the link below.
