Awesome Band Off To Wichita!

It is really fun when our students excel and get recognized for their efforts.  If you did not already know this, we have a fantastic band.  Others have recognized that so we are sending them to Wichita to participate in the KMEA In-Service Workshop.  Here is how their website describes the event:

 “The 2012 In-Service Workshop will take place Feb. 23-25, 2012, at the Century II Convention Center in Wichita. At this important annual event, speakers, performers, and vendors gather to represent the best of music  education throughout the state.”

Did you see that!  We are representing “the best of music education throughout the state”.  That is really cool!  Some of you got a preview of their performance at a band concert at Shawnee Mission Northwest high school on Monday night.  Our band shared the stage with the Northwest band to perform all four numbers they will play in Wichita.  Mr. Steve Gordon has the band playing at a high level, and it is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our school is such a prestigious event.  Plus the House of Representatives voted in a resolution honoring our school for their selection to perform at KMEA.  House Representative Kelly Meigs presented the resolution between performances of the two schools on Monday night.   Pretty cool stuff!
