I would like to thank the Northland Community Schools Senior High Concert Band and their director Ben Kinser for an amazing trip to Nashville a few weeks ago. I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a chaperone and was truly blessed by the great time we had.

Not only did the students perform tremendously, but those 41 kids had great manners, behaved very well and represented our school and community with tremendous pride and respect. With two bus rides that were around 22 hours apiece, and a very stinky bathroom on the way home, no complaints, good humor, and great fun was had by all.

I have never been around such a great group of kids, thanks again.

Our Concert Band recently played in state competition and received a "Superior" rating, which is the best possible score. GREAT JOB kids and Mr.Kinser, all of your hard work has paid off!!
