Discussion:
Allison White reported on activities participated in by students in the vocal music and band programs.
Students attended various honor bands and choirs throughout the year. UNK Honor Band and Choir was attended by Tate Rothchild, Haley West, Malori Grabast, Morgan Neeman, and Tia Gonzales- Hunter. KHS Underclassmen Honor Band was attended by Morgan Theis, AJ Leibel, Taran Zoltenko, and Alexa Cox. Haley West was selected for the Class C All State Wind Ensemble for the 3rd year in the row. The HS Band students were awarded the Nebraska Bandmasters Association's Academic Excellence Award for having an average GPA of 3.9 (Nebraska Choral Directors do not award a similar award- only reason choir was not recognized). We have 14 events participating at District Music Contest on Friday April 12th including Band, Choir, various solos, duets, and small groups. Our last performance of the year is Fine Arts Night on May 7th following Awards Night. Next year our 7-12 classes will include Jr. High Band, Jr. High Choir, HS Choir, and HS Band allowing for more appropriate learning for the Jr. High students to be separated into their own classes. Band Camp will be held once weekly throughout the summer to help HS students prepare for next year's marching band season. |
