The Jazz Ensemble finished off the evening with two great performances that got everyone “In the Mood” to get up and dance. Congrats to Mr Reed and the GICSD’s entire team of instrumental music educators for helping our kids grow into such excellent young musicians!👏

Next up all the graduating seniors were called up to be honored, each given a red rose. The Wind Ensemble followed that by showing why they have built a reputation as one of the finest performing groups in the entire state! They played two outstanding numbers, including a really fun theatrical piece titled Godzilla Eats Las Vegas! So fun and so great!

Very proud of our HS Wind Ensemble today as they performed at our Town’s annual Memorial Day ceremony. They did an excellent job and the event would not be the same without them. Good thing the transportation costs of moving the equipment to and from the event were included in the current year’s school budget…🤔🇺🇸🎶💲

Winning this award doesn’t happen by accident, and doing so 15 years in a row really tells us how exceptional our music program is on Grand Island! Thank you to all the fantastic music educators who are committed to making our kids the best version of musicians possible, every single day. And thank you to our district administration that continues to prioritize and support our music program every year! Last but certainly not least, thank you to all the parents who encourage, support and invest in their kids’ music journeys! Way to go Grand Island!

The music department is proud to announce that the Grand Island CSD has once again been selected as a NAMM "Best Communities for Music Education". This award celebrates school districts nationwide who are committed to music education through funding, staffing, class participation, and equitable access. We are extremely proud to say that we have now been awarded this honor for the 15th year in a row!

Many thanks to the GICSD administration, the board of education, and the local community who continue to find the value in a high quality music program.
