Today the Nowata HS Concert band earned an Excellent Rating (straight twos) on Stage for Concert Contest and a Superior Rating (a 1st place rating) in Sight Reading. I am very proud of my band. We have grown from 12 to 31 members and have earned the respect of our student body, staff, administrators, area directors, other bands and judges. Congratulations Nowata on a job well done. :)
