Senior trip 2026 is over. We made it back safe and sound. What a fun time! The Kiewit Luminarium was amazing and the Henry Doorly Zoo was even better.

We had 6 musicians travel to Wichita for the 12A State Honor Band. Unfortunately one ended up sick yesterday, and we are hoping he gets to feeling better. But the 5 that stayed had a great week! We were blessed to work with Composer/Clinician Adrian Sims.
Brianne and Tucker have traveled to their final Honor band with us! But we are so grateful for their leadership. Kelly and Charlie knocked it out of the park in the band, and while Zoe didn't get the chance to step into the Alternate spot she instead took on the roll of assistant student manager and assistant to the director.
We had her finding new music copies, moving equipment, directing directors/students/and escorting composers. A special shoutout thanks to Kelly Minge for being the kids chaperone and chauffeur as Mrs Sawin was the 12A Honor Band Chair(meaning she was responsible for all 93 students and the clinician) ! We couldn't do what we do without all the wonderful helpers, people, and the kids working extra hours!
Congratulations

Our Tiger Boys ended their season last night with a loss to Valley Falls. We seemed to be the more physical team but just struggled to keep momentum. We started the 4th qtr down 51-44, by the 6 minute mark we had an 8-0 run to go ahead 52-51. Valley Falls made a little run but we fought back! Tied 57-57 with 3:41 to go. Valley Falls pulled ahead for the final time but never out of reach. We just couldn't keep them contained. We had a half court shot as time expired to tie the game, it didn't go in.
I'm proud of these boys! They showed up to complete. #12 seed Washington County nearly knocked off a league champion & #5 seed team in Valley Falls.
We played a tough schedule this season! We worked through injuries and were finally healthy for the last couple games and it showed! Season record 8-17
We graduate four Seniors: Gavyn Leduc, Eli Chandler, Brody Applegarth and Lucas Thompson.
Thank you for cheering these guys on!
