The National Band Association awards Cleveland HS Band

Last week the National Band Association bestowed the Program of Excellence Blue Ribbon Award to the Cleveland HS Bands. Our band was one of 10 high school bands in the nation that were recognized for this level of accomplishment.

The NBA Programs of Excellence initiative recognizes quality programs at all levels. Those programs and educators which challenge students and promote standards of excellence will be honored nationally through this initiative.

This award will be presented at a concert sometime in the future this school year.

Congratulations to all of the students that have passed through this program the last five years.  Recordings, concert programs, literature performance lists and achievements from the last three to five years of this program were requested by the NBA in determining if our program was worthy of this award.

It has been (and continues to be) an honor to work with all of the amazing students and families at Cleveland HS!

Musically Yours,
Gary Riler
