HardinOn behalf of myself and the NSBA Board, I would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to our site hosts and judging panel for their efforts at our State Marching Contest on October 22nd. Their efforts to ensure a quality, professional event are much appreciated.

I would also like to congratulate the efforts of ALL the bands who participated. Competitive results, ratings and awards come and go, but the hard work, dedication and pride that were on display by all 55 of our competing bands speaks volumes about these fine young people.

Each program is unique, and all have their own goals. But the most important lesson is the PROCESS and the growth of our programs, in a fall season and from year to year. Again, congratulations to all those who performed on Saturday!

Sincerely,
Ron Hardin - NSBA Marching Band Chair
