With recent passage of a bond issue providing for improved facilities, musically inclined students will use them to good advantage. The band, under the direction of Mr. Don Sexton, practiced daily during first period. The Concert Band, together with the chorus, presented three evening concerts for public enjoyment during the year. Highlights of the fall concert were solos and ensembles by band members. Seasonal music and the play, A Christmas Carol,” were attractions of the Christmas Concert. The spring concert featured contest music. The band also performed for several school assemblies.

The marching band practiced twice weekly during the summer in preparation for marching in several local parades. The highlight of the year was participation in the Illinois High School Association Music Contest at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Solo and ensemble judging was held on March 12 and judging of band organizations on April 16. Each year a plaque is given to the school having the largest number of points from superior ratings on their entries. NACHS has received this award several years in the past. 25
