Selected for NEIBA Honor Band ...

Waukon Middle School eighth grade students Owen and Sophie Halverson (left to right in above photo) participated in the NEIBA (Northeast Iowa Bandmasters Association) Honor Band in Oelwein Saturday, December 5 along with over 200 other students from northeast Iowa. "This is a very select group," said Frank Knoll, director of instrumental music at the middle school and elementary levels in the Allamakee Community School District. "They practiced all day and then performed a concert in the evening for a very packed gymnasium. Both students worked very hard to prepare for this event and represented our school very well."
