Algona Community School District

Thirteen members of the Algona Middle School Band were selected to participate in the North Central Iowa Bandmasters Association (NCIBA) District Honor Band Festival, which was held at Clear Lake Middle School on Saturday, November 16. These talented musicians had their performance resumes submitted by their teachers, and the top students were chosen for the band. The students started the festival day with a chair audition and then rehearsed throughout the day in preparation for the evening concert. Additionally, four Algona students were named All Iowa. Karsyn Myhre, Ethan Orban, Natalie Orban, and Grethel Rivas Torres were selected to the All Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band, and Daisy Mitchell was selected as an alternate. The All Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band is made up of the best 8th grade band students in the state of Iowa. These students will put on a concert on May 15 in Des Moines.
