Pop concert opens season Neumann High School’s concert band opened its season with a pop concert on December 1. The band also held several concerts during the winter and spring months including an exchange concert. During this experience, the band students from North Bend, Wahoo, and Neumann High Schools listened to each other perform, and critiqued the band in the areas in which each needed improvement. Group and individual efforts were also in full swing this year when 13 students went to Nebraska Wesleyan honor band, and several solos and ensembles were taken to district music contest.
