The NJYC Practice Challenge runs from Monday, November 10 through Friday, December 12 and encourages singers to practice with purpose. Each singer will set weekly practice goals based on their ensemble: Primo Coro: 60 minutes/week Sola Voce & Cor Amici: 75 minutes/week Coriste & Camerata: 90 minutes/week Throughout the month-long challenge, singers will log their minutes, grow as musicians, and invite family and friends to sponsor their dedication. Together, our singers will strengthen their skills, support one another, and give back to their community. "Challenge Info" Page In addition to reaching the practice goals associated with their designated ensemble, each students fundraising goal is to raise $100, with 10% of total proceeds donated to LINC: Linking Initiative for Neighborhood Change. LINC is an organization based in New Providence that combats food insecurity through local food distribution, community gardens, and neighborhood partnerships. The remaining funds from this fundraiser will support NJYCs mission: to provide exceptional choral experiences, music education, and leadership development to young singers while fostering community connection through song. This years challenge launches alongside a co-occurring food drive with LINC, inviting families to contribute non-perishable items at rehearsals throughout the challenge period. The entire challenge is a beautiful way to see the harmony between practice, purpose, and community action in motion.
