Newtown Marching Nighthawks

2021 Program

Everest

What does it take to reach the top of the world? The Newtown Marching Nighthawks 2021 production follows the perilous journey to touch the sky at the top of Mount Everest. We are not only presenting the physical toll of reaching the mountain peak, but also the inner struggle everyone faces trying to climb their personal Everest. We will explore the ambitions, desires, tribulations, and ultimately triumphs that our “climbers” face on their way to the summit.
