NECSD Empire Drumline Performs at Orange County Arts Gala

On Saturday November 19, 2022, the NECSD Empire Drumline performed at the Orange County Arts Gala. This is an annual event to help fundraise for the Orange County Arts Council. It was filled with Art, Photography, Dance and Music. With the help of Ralph MVORE, students from Temple Hill Academy, Meadow Hill School, NFA Main Campus and NFA North Campus were able to work and collaborate with many talented artists.

Empire Drumline performs regularly at events. We hope to see you at our next performance!
