A Note From the Director...

Dear Manton Students and Parents,
There have been so many milestones for this band within the last few years. In 2016, with the help of our boosters, school and community, we were able to purchase new uniforms for the Ranger Marching Band! In 2018 and 2019 the Ranger Marching band earned a Division 1 ratings. They continued with great momentum and in 2019 earned a Division 1 rating in concert festival at Manistee High School. The Manton high school band was then able to travel to Garden City for State festival where they earned a 2nd Division. The high school band had a phenomenal year in 2018-2019 that concluded with a memorable trip to New Orleans, LA.

Most recently our band has reinvented their 5th grade program. Every 5th grader will have band for a making period with instruments that have been provided by Manton Schools! Every 5th grader will have an intro to flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and percussion. During 4th making period students can choose to continue band on the instrument the were most successful in. I would personally like to thank all that have supported the band program and helped them achieve so much. Your contributions help shape these musicians more than you know!

Sincerely,

Michelle L. Nuffer
Director of Bands
Manton Consolidated Schools
