Congratulations to our 7th and 8th grade band students who performed very well at the MSBOA District 5 Band & Orchestra Festival on Friday, March 8. The students, led by Mrs. Ellen Goff-Burtch, received an overall 2nd Division rating (Excellent) with a 1st Division rating (Superior) in sight-reading. This is the 3rd year in a row that NCCE students have consistently received these same honors.
NCCE is one of the few Class D schools in our district and our students continue to perform alongside schools that are much bigger, with a similar repertoire and results in performance.
Students performed Guardians of Liberty March by Murtha, Medallion Overtune by Himes and Eclipsys by O'Loughlin.
"We are very proud of our students and our program here at Nouvel," shared NCCE Band Director, Ellen Goff-Burtch. "We appreciate all the support we receive!"
