Congratulations to Junior Emma Reitzel for being chosen as this week’s First National Bank Fine Arts Performer of the Week.
Emma is a percussionist in the band. Here is her nomination from band director Mrs. McKeithan-Jensen:
Emma is always a hard worker when it comes to her activities, but went above and beyond for small group this year. She prepared two solos on different instruments and a percussion ensemble. Additionally, she lost out on quite a bit of preparation on one of her solos due to illness. She went in to the day uncertain if she wanted to perform one of her solos, feeling less confident and very nervous, thinking she’d just go in for comments or scratch it to focus on her other performances. She ended up performing it for ratings and ended up walking away with THREE superior ratings! Way to go, Emma!
