On Thursday, March 6, the Jr. High/High School Band participated in the Show-Me Central Conference Band Contest and received a I rating.  On Saturday, March 8, they performed at State Music Contest for the first time in 8 years.  It was the first time the band had been eligible to participate because of a 50% rule that was put in place 8 years ago that precludes bands that have more than half of their band students coming from the Jr. High.  With almost 3 weeks of snow days since the beginning of the year and preparing fairly challenging music, they walked away with a Silver (Outstanding) rating on their prepared pieces and the top rating on their sight reading.  None of these students have ever sight read in front of a judge.  Mrs. Lieser is very proud of all the band students that participated.  She and the band did a fantastic job and represented JHS well!

Bravo, Eagles!  Well done!
