Hats off to NMK!
Band really is a great opportunity for our children. Although none of my children participated, I have had friends who's children were in band and I see nothing but a positive coming from it. I hope they don't try to cut it, there are many careers that can come from band.
Great job Kids!
Congratulations to the youngsters of both bands ~ keep up the great music & performances!!
And to the Times staff ~ it's wonderful to see both schools getting recognition in the paper ~ thank you!!
