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 12. 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.

On today's edition of "Classroom Spotlight," we have our Horticulture Class!
