New Jersey Coalition 4 Education & Positive Choices

HANOVER TOWNSHIP — The NJ Coalition 4 Education and Positive Choices, in cooperation with the Hanover Township Cultural Arts Committee and Hanover Township Recreation Department, is proud to present “The New Jersey Teen Concert Series”. This concert series will be held on Saturday, March 9, 7:00 p.m. at Whippany Park High School, 165 Whippany Road, Whippany.

This concert series was created to provide our high school musicians and artists an opportunity to perform in a setting closely resembling a concert hall. Those students who may never have performed in such an environment will now get their chance to excel before their families, fellow musicians, artists and peers.

This concert was specifically designed with Whippany Park and Hanover Park students in mind. They will be performing on stage with the assistance of a world class sound system and light show. With everyone’s cooperation and participation, our young performers will unite the community in a fun and safe environment that will make March 9 a night to remember!

Singers, dancers, musicians, musical ensembles, and other creative inspired entertainers are encouraged to audition for this impressive showcase. There is an especially large demand for rock bands.

There are three to four positions available for student volunteers to introduce the performers. Not everyone can get up on stage to perform. Perhaps their talents lie elsewhere and they would like to participate by introducing the acts.

Positions in this concert series are limited due to the fact it is opened to all Whippany Park and Hanover Park students. It will be on a first come first serve basis.

Let us not forget those talented artists who display their emotions and expressions by creating works of beauty. We want all of our young artists to please use this opportunity to display their work whether paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc. The Coalition deeply understands artists and their art. Therefore, we encourage our students to participate. To sign up, please email Coalition4EPC@gmail.com.

Please provide:

  • The contact name. Participants under 18 must provide name of legal guardian.
  • Phone number and email address
  • A brief description of the performance

We would like to have our final selections made by February 23 in order for students to begin their preparation.

The student and/or parent will be notified after final selections are made. A schedule will be provided for the night’s performances and will include a specific time slot and rules and guidelines that will be consistent with school code of conduct policies.

The New Jersey Teen Concert series is a great way of showcasing talent and celebrating what young people in Hanover Township, East Hanover Township and Florham Park can do.
