Congratulations to our talented 8th grade band students who represented Boone CSD at the Orpheus Honor Band Festival! 🎶
Students spent an afternoon at Simpson College rehearsing challenging repertoire with guest conductors Seth Banwell (Newton) and Jayson Gerth (Southeast Polk). All that preparation and hard work culminated in a final concert for their families and guests.
Beyond the music, these students gained leadership skills and growth that they’ll bring back to strengthen our band program. This is a well-deserved honor for these musicians: Lauren Erickson, tuba; Madeline Schemmel, trumpet; Chloe Ritzman, flute; Ethan Franzeen, tenor sax; Reese Howie, percussion; and Hannah Baker, flute! 🎉

Attendance matters!
Students who attend school each day are more likely to succeed academically and develop strong social connections. Here are some ways families can help:
✅ Make attendance a priority in your household
✅ Get organized the night before school
✅ Ensure your child gets enough sleep
✅ Schedule medical appointments outside of school hours when possible
✅ Stay in communication with teachers
Every school day is an opportunity to learn and grow! 🚀
