The entire high school concert band, under the direction of Mr. Nate Sletten, traveled to the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls on Thursday, April 10, for the Northern Iowa Band Invitational. Earlham was selected as an outstanding band program in the state to represent Class 1-A at this year’s event. The band performed very well, receiving a standing ovation from the audience. The performance was followed by a short clinic from three (3) music professors at UNI. They also had the opportunity to listen to the Prairie H.S. Wind Symphony from Cedar Rapids Prairie, and the Oskaloosa H.S. Concert Band – both bands being at least twice the size as the Earlham H.S. Concert Band. The Clarinda H.S. Concert Band also performed at this event.
