Honor Band Selections
Four of our Jr. High students were selected to attend the Molalla Middle School Honor Band this month. This experience brought a days worth of intense rehearsals under the direction of Mr. Travis Freshner. Mr. Freshener is a distinguished local composer and arranger who teaches at St. Helens Middle School.
At the end of the day, this group of 55 musicians put on a high quality performance which was fantastic. We are proud of them for participating in this event and look forward to many more opportunities for our NCCS Band community!
