Director’s Comments
Mr Mitchell – Honor Band Season, had students make it into all honor bands that they participate in. Lincoln Honor band has 46, 7 are KHS students, Chadron honor band 3 kids and then going to Arizona State University. Several others are being canceled.
Mr LeFeber – Had the opportunity to chat with others that run other honor bands and they are having rough years with participation and support. Very fortunate to have the program we have.
March 10th concert is at 8pm (Orchestra will be earlier in the evening)
May 6th Concert (Changed from May 10 due to honors night)
Be on the lookout for band practice for the band trip and then the meeting right before the trip
