NMS Band and Choir students participated in IGSMA Southern Division Solo and Ensemble Contest on March 10, 2017.
Of 38 solos, the students earned 38 1st places ratings with six of them being 1st superior ratings! What an amazing accomplishment for NMS Music Department!
We would like to thank Mrs. Becky Styninger and Lucas Morgan for accompanying solos that day.
Solos marked with an asterisk (ABOVE) were graded high enough and the students scored high enough to compete at State Solo & Ensemble Contest at Carbondale in May this year.
Congratulations to the following students, and good luck to all students heading to state contest!
