HAWKFEST is more than recognizing outstanding high school musicians. It’s about providing inspiration and making new friends who share a love of music.
The annual honor band and honor choir at Northeast Community College features some of the best high school musicians in Northeast Nebraska. This year’s event took place on Monday, Oct. 7, culminating with an evening concert at the Lifelong Learning Center after rehearsing all day.
This year’s event included about 100 students from 21 schools, with students from as far south as Shelby-Rising City and David City Aquinas to as far north as Bloomfield, Hartington-Newcastle and Ponca.
It also is an opportunity for students from small schools to get a chance to play in a bigger band and hear what it sounds like, or for a choir to hear more voices in harmonies.
