STAPLETON HIGH SCHOOL BAND MEMBER SELECTED FOR HONOR BAND
The Stapleton High School Music Department is proud to announce that freshman, Madilyn McEntee, daughter of Jason & Shayla McEntee, has been selected to perform in the annual Mid-Plains Community College "Best of the West" Honor Band.
High School band students from around the area submitted a video audition, and from those auditions, the organizers selected 31 students from nine schools around North Platte. Participating schools include: Anselmo-Merna, Arapahoe, Chase County, Creek Valley, Gothenburg, Hershey, North Platte St Pat, Stapleton, and Wallace.
Students in the Honor Band will spend the day at MPCC rehearsing the music together, and will culminate in a final concert of the Honor Choir and Honor Band.
The Best of the West Honor Band/Choir Concert will begin at 6:00 pm in the MPCC Auditorium (doors open at 5:30 pm).
Had a great time subbing for 6th grade art this morning. Students had to draw out their names using everyday objects to create unique letters. Even had a guest appearance by Mrs. Isom! It's a fun group to be around.
ATTENTION PARENTS: The bus to North Platte is running late this morning. We have dispatched a second bus to pick up students. The bus will arrive around 7:50-8:00am - Your students will not be considered tardy. Sorry for the inconvenience
ATTENTION PARENTS: Due to low numbers there will not be picture retakes at the school on OCT 11th. If you need to schedule school pictures you can reach out to Nebraska Portraits at (308) 530-0579. Thank you
