Noteworthy Show Choir Returned To Oak Park Arms For 15th Anniversary Performance

Noteworthy, the award-winning show choir from Oak Park River Forest High School (OPRFHS), performed Friday, December 5, 2025, at the Oak Park Arms Senior Living, 408 S. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park. The free event was open to the public.

Now celebrating its 15th year, the ensemble features 38 students who presented their main set, a performance incorporating polished vocals and dynamic choreography, plus a special holiday number. The performance featured approximately eight high-energy songs.

Noteworthy is under the direction of Director/Choreographer Meghan Figel and Music/Band Director Joe Dennis.

“Noteworthy brought an infectious energy to the performance, filling the room with excitement and joy,” said Meghan Figel, director and choreographer. “The most rewarding part of watching the students perform for the seniors is seeing the genuine connection that formed between the generations. It was truly touching to witness our students uplift the community.”

The current academic year is already a momentous one for the ensemble; the group is preparing for a spring trip to Nashville where they will perform.

“We look forward to the Noteworthy performance every year,” said Renee Steingard, director of leasing and resident engagement at the Oak Park Arms. “It’s a wonderful tradition that truly brightens the season and is enjoyed by all our residents.”
