Summary:A method for orienting cooling holes of a nozzle singlet for a turbine engine is provided. The method includes providing a nozzle singlet having an inner band, an outer band, and at least one airfoil extending therebetween. The method also includes orienting at least one first row of cooling holes an angle with respect to at least one second row of cooling holes. The orientation of the at least one first row and the at least one second row provides a cooling hole pattern that accommodates a change in the airfoil angle without reorienting the cooling hole pattern.
