Rocking first place

THE RNR INDOOR PERCUSSION group competed in the New England Scholastic Band Association (NESBA) finals at Dartmouth High School. Directed by Dan Muse, this is a combined group from NRHS and Reading Memorial High School. Their show, “Wild Things,” is based on the children’s book of the same name by Maurice Sendak. They earned first place in their class – Percussion Marching Independent Regional A – in the very first competitive season.
