Saturday, Bob and I, and Jenn & Scott Hitzemann travelled to Grand Island to attend the 2025 Class "B" All-State Honor Band Concert at Northwest High School. Such an amazing amount of talent broken down into three classes. The Symphonic Band was led by Sandy Murphy; the Wind Ensemble by Lori Falcone; and the Jazz Band by Bob Krueger. Truly gifted students and a most enjoyable afternoon. And a delightful meal at Texas T-Bone Steakhouse! Who could ask for more!

Natalee Wehmoff, Capri Hansen, Brody Hitzemann, and Brandy Hall

Both Natalee and Brody were 1st chair in their sections and had solos in the concert!

The oaks pictured are the twin oaks by the house Red Anderson lived in and survived the flood of 1950 (now the home of Tom & Shelly Block.) These trees were planted just after the flood.

Thanks to Ben Fann for allowing a close up of the trunk of this very healthy bur oak. The grandson of the lady living in the house in the 1950's planted this tree and she convinced him to water it every time he visited her. Watering whenever you plant is still a "best practice" today!
