Holiday Concert with the Northshore Community Orchestra
2024-12-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Slidell Municipal Auditotium, 2056 Second Street, Slidell, LA, 70458, United States
Join Slidell Mayor Greg Cromer for a Holiday Concert with the Northshore Community Orchestra on Thursday, Dec. 19th at 7 p.m. in the Slidell Municipal Auditorium. Admission is free.
The Northshore Community Orchestra is the only symphony orchestra in St. Tammany Parish where both youths and adults can make learning and performing music a lifelong endeavor. The orchestra was established in 1987, and has operated continuously ever since. The orchestra performs several full orchestra concerts as well as some smaller group ensembles throughout the year, with genres including classical, jazz, pop, folk, ethnic, traditional, movie themes, and broadway hits. Each year, the orchestra typically performs for Slidell’s Patriot Day ceremony and Christmas and spring concerts.
The members of the orchestra come from Slidell, St. Tammany Parish and from surrounding parishes in the Greater New Orleans area and south Mississippi. The members represent a diverse assortment of backgrounds such as students, medical professionals, engineers, skilled tradesmen, scientists, homemakers, members of the military, educators, and retirees. Though our student members typically begin with us around late middle school or junior high age, currently our youngest member is just 9 years old, and our oldest is in his 80s. Some of the orchestra’s musicians are family members who play together – spouses, parents, children, and siblings.
The Slidell Municipal Auditorium is located at 2056 Second Street in Olde Towne Slidell. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission is free, but a donation to the Northshore Community Orchestra is welcomed.

Bill Borchert Oath of Office Ceremony
2025-01-20 12:00 - 13:00 | Slidell Municipal Auditotium, 2056 Second Street, Slidell, LA, 70458, United States
On Monday, January 20, 2025, at 12:00 p.m., Slidell Councilman-at-Large Bill Borchert will officially take the oath of office to serve as Mayor of the City of Slidell. The ceremony will take place at the Slidell Municipal Auditorium and is open to the public.
This transition follows the resignation of Mayor Greg Cromer, who accepted a new position with Gov. Landry and the State of Louisiana earlier this month as a Legislative Affairs Officer at the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD). Cromer had nearly a year and a half left to complete his term as mayor.

Bill Borchert

In accordance with the city’s home rule charter, Borchert, who received the most votes for council-at-large in the last election, will assume the role of mayor until a special election is held in October 2025 to fill the remainder of Mayor Cromer’s term. Borchert’s official start date is January 21, 2025.
“I want to thank Mayor Cromer for his years of service and dedication to our community and wish him the best of luck in his new role,” said Borchert. “I am excited about continuing the great things that Mayor Cromer has accomplished for the City of Slidell over the last six and a half years. It has been an honor to serve the people of Slidell as a councilman for the last 16 years, and I look forward to continuing to serve the great citizens of Slidell as mayor.”
Borchert is a dedicated public servant and active member of the Slidell community for over five decades. He was elected to the Slidell City Council in 2007. Originally from West Virginia, he moved to Slidell in 1971 and quickly made Slidell his home. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Borchert has applied his analytical skills and problem-solving expertise to address the needs of the Slidell community. He is married to Laura Borchert, an accomplished attorney practicing in Slidell.
For the past six years and a half years, Borchert has regularly served as acting mayor when Mayor Cromer was out of office for more than five business days, as specified by the city charter. His experience in this capacity has prepared him to take on the responsibilities of serving as mayor.
All residents are invited to attend the Oath of Office ceremony on January 20, 2025, to show their support for Mayor Bill Borchert as he begins this new chapter of leadership for the City of Slidell.
