NKHS Bands, Choir Hits All the Right Notes at National Competition
North Kingstown High Schools music program scored big at last weekend's National Music Competition in Massachusetts.
The trophy case for North Kingstown High School's music program is getting a bit fuller after last weekend. The NKHS Symphonic Band, Concert Choir and String Ensemble all placed in the National Music Competition in Holyoke, MA last weekend. NKHS competed against 30 other groups from around the country and scored a "superior" rating – the highest possible rating in the competition. Only six "superior" ratings were handed out...and North Kingstown nabbed half of them. The symphonic band and orchestra both won gold. The symphonic band was also honored with the title of best overall band. The concert choir came in second place in its category. Junior Julia Gershkoff won the award for best solo singer for her performance.

Glare of National Spotlight Captures North Kingstown
Ever since Friday, when the world learned Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev's wife was from North Kingstown – news organizations have been camping out on Coriander Lane, much to residents' dismay.
Just 30 minutes south of Providence sits North Kingstown, Rhode Island – your run-of-the-mill suburban town, with a predominantly middle class population of around 26,000. This small town’s major claims to fame are probably that it was home to the famous American portraitist Gilbert Stuart and Olympic swimmer Elizabeth Beisel. Needless to say, it’s not really a hotbed of news nor is it on the radar of national news media – that is, until last week. Once news broke Friday that the widow of one suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing hailed from this small town by the bay, North Kingstown suddenly found itself on the map. NBC, CNN, The New York Daily News, The New York Post, the Associated Press and even the UK Daily Mail have been staked …

Agree with @ itotg.... I read in an AP piece that she attended "Daisyville" Elementary. Really opens the eyes that we can not trust much of anything reported as "fact". If they can't get even the smallest, basic facts correct, why should they be trusted to handle the crucial details with care. more ›
