QNQ Jazz Band
Congratulations to the QNQ Jazz Ensemble, who has earned a spot in the state finals for the first time in our district's history. Groups are only extended an offer to state finals if they receive a gold medal or a silver medal rating that is high enough to warrant an invitation. Yesterday, our students received a high silver with an invitation to the state finals! Bravo! The finals will take place at Norwood High School on March 16th.
