Which do you think we will perform next fall?

(3/3) Last week ended in back to back to back honor festivals that featured some of our amazing music students! They worked extremely hard, and we couldn't be prouder!
Saturday morning start bright and early for Magnus, Sophia, Cora, and Kelsey as we travelled to Moorhead from the NWMBDA Honor Band. This event hosts two bands- 1st year and 2nd year, and NCE had participants in both. Three out of the four NCE students were attending honor band for the first time! Although they had some jitters upon arriving, shortly afterwards they all settled in and had an incredible time!
Both of these groups had a blast playing new music, meeting new people, and working with incredible instructors. The 1st year group worked with Mr. Donald Pochmara, director at Sacred Heart Middle School and Shanley High School, who instilled his love for music into this group. The 2nd year ensemble was directed by Mrs. Sarah Harlow, band director at Grand Forks Central High School. She brought so much energy and fun to their rehearsals!

The Subsection 30 Honor Band and Choir is an annual event that hosts music students from our subsection. It rotates between three schools, and this year Fosston did a tremendous job of hosting.
Owen, Allison, Amelia, and Xavier participated in the honor band and worked with Dr. Josh Gillen, Director of Athletic Bands and Assistant Band Director at UND. These four enjoyed learning difficult music and put on a spectacular show!
Katelyn, Ramsey, Brooklyn, Sarah, and Mina sang their hearts out as part of the honor choir. Their powerful pieces left an impression on all of us lucky enough to hear! This year the honor choir was directed by Mrs. Melanie Popejoy, Associate Director of Choral Activities at UND- who just so happened to be Mrs. Bates's choir director and mentor in college!
