    BRIAN BENDER (trombone, keyboards, melodica, composer, bandleader) Brian Bender & Little Shop of Horas Original and traditional Jewish melodies blended with Latin, African, Caribbean and Middle Eastern rhythms Brian has performed in Egypt, Israel, the Cape Verde Islands, Alaska, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and throughout the United States. He has also performed at Carnegie Hall and the Presidential Inauguration of Bill Clinton. “Brian Bender….the most-requested Klezmer trombone in the Northeast USA.” “Brian Bender's trombone is an entire horn section, when needed, by himself.” - Ari Davidov, Klezmershack “On the aptly titled ‘Eyn Velt’ (which means ‘One World’), Brian Bender achieves several landmarks. For one, he gathers some of the greatest Klezmer and non-Klezmer musicians in the world, including trumpeter Frank London and violinist Alicia Svigals of the Klezmatics and the saxophonist Charles Neville of the famed New Orleans group, the Neville Brothers. The dozens of other musicians on hand from all traditions testify to Bender’s universal musical world-view, as does the music they make: World Music with Jewish roots.” “Bender exhibited his inventive streak, exploring new possibilities for the trombone in the ensemble, as melody or rhythm instrument, and for the melodica, a breath-powered keyboard from which he elicited a particularly ancient sound.” - Seth Rogovoy, author of “The Essential Klezmer” Host of “The Klezmer Hour” radio show "Lovingly brings back the rhythms and sounds of our ancestors as the sounds of today. Some wonderful unexpected twists, like a tangy latin version of the yiddish chestnut "Shloimele, Malkele" and a Rastafarian approach to a traditional Bobover Hasidic processional." - Dr.

    North Hills High School Program of Studies 2018-2019 1 Dear Parents and Students, Our Program of Studies is designed to explain the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade curriculum and course options offered at North Hills High School for the 2018-19 school year. In addition to the course offerings, the Program of Studies contains descriptions of the courses, graduation requirements, and information about special programs available to our students. Furthermore, we are excited to share new information for students regarding Career Pathways. We hope this information – located at the end of the Program of Studies - helps guide students when making course selections as they illustrate how students can take courses that may shape and guide post-secondary plans. Parents and students will have the opportunity to complete the course request process online by accessing PowerSchool from any computer with internet access. The course request window will be available at 6:00 p.m. on January 31, 2018 and will remain open until February 9, 2018. Students who do not complete their course request during this window will be assigned a schedule and run the risk of not getting their top choice of coursework. North Hills High School Graduation Requirements have recently changed. Please be sure to review the new requirements beginning on page 6. A Course Request Worksheet is provided in the back of this program for your use in the planning of courses for the 2018-19 school year and beyond. This will allow parents to have a greater involvement in their child’s course requests as they register online, and in their child’s individual academic plan for high school graduation.
