Three Gregory Middle Schoolers Headed to Middle School All-State Band
The 27th Annual Middle School All-State Band will be held March 6–7 at the Mitchell Performing Arts Center. Students from across the state audition by performing a variety of scales and etudes and are selected by a panel of judges.
Representing Gregory Middle School this year are eighth graders Hadley Braun (trumpet) and Gracelyn Lanz (percussion), along with sixth grader Ian Opp (French horn). The trio will have the opportunity to perform alongside other outstanding young musicians from around the state.

Gorilla Gathering message for the week:
I enjoy watching greatness in whatever form that may take. Because of this, I always enjoy watching the Olympics. This Olympics had a bunch of cool stories involved.
First, we had a speed skater named Jordan Stolz. He is from the same small town in Wisonsin as my uncle. It's very cool to see and hear how invested the whole town was in his success.
Then, we had two very cool stories in USA Hockey. The women's team won gold in an overtime victory. Then the men's team won gold in an overtime victory! This was exactly 46 years to the day since "The Miracle on Ice." That was the last US mens hockey team to win the gold. This was of course followed by a host of interviews and montage videos of those teams. I love listening to post-game interviews. It tells you a lot about a person and their character.
But USA Hockey does this better than any other sport. I watched at least a dozen interviews of men's and women's hockey. And I noticed 2 things throughout all of the interviews.
1) No matter what the question was, even if it was about how they scored the winning goal, the first words out of the player's mouth was praise for their teammates.
2) The very next thing they all said was how proud they were to be Americans.
They never said we didn't have problems. They didn't say we don't have to fix things.
But they did say they were proud of where they come from and how happy they are to be from the United States. Then, if you kept watching, you would see Every. Single. Player. Sing the National Anthem at the top of their lungs! One of them did his interview while missing 2 of his teeth and a still-bloody mouth! In his interview about his golden goal, Jack Hughs said,
"This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I love my teammates. It’s unbelievable. The U.S. are a hockey brotherhood. It’s so strong and we had so much support from ex-players. I’m so proud to be American today... We’re so proud to be American. Tonight was all for the country."
We can take a lesson from these men and women. This week, and always, when you hear our National Anthem or our school song, sing loud! Sing proud! This does not mean that our town or country are perfect. It just means you are proud of where you come from and the things we can accomplish together!
Challenge for the week: Sing along to the songs that represent us all! Do it with pride!
Every day is a great day to be a Gorilla! (And an American!)
Have a great week!
