New year, new beats, new execs! 🎶 We're officially thrilled to introduce our executive board for the upcoming academic year. We've been working on some exciting plans and can't wait to share the good vibes and great music with all of you. Get ready for an unforgettable year – it's going to be epic!

June 7, our NAfME chapter flew east to our nation's capital, Washington DC! The day was spent flying and sightseeing our monuments. We are excited to participate in National Hill Day to converse with our Senators and Representatives. Today, June 8th, we will be exploring more of DC, as well as visiting many of the history museums! Stay tuned to see more of our adventures!

On Monday, March 31st, was the Nebraska Collegiate Hill Day!
Doane C-NAfME, along with other collegiate chapters, were able to speak to senators about the importance of music education and advocate for the arts in our schools. Many senators at our Lincoln Capitol building discussed certain bills with our members, and we couldn't be any more proud!

With Music in our Schools Month coming to a close, we'd like to thank all of the music educators in our lives!
Thank you for your dedication and passion in keeping music in our schools and lives. Your hard work and commitment to fostering a love for music enrich the lives of students that you teach, helping to create a brighter, more harmonious future. We appreciate all you do to inspire and cultivate musical talent in our communities!

The sophomores took a field trip to Friend and Exeter-Milligan public schools for their practicum class! We spent the day observing the music classrooms and sitting in on elementary and high school panels.

Thank you Professor Clouse and Principal Stutzman for the opportunity, and Mr. Mark Perez and Ms. Kaydi Daudt for welcoming us into their classrooms!

Our next Freshman is Joe Reimer!

Joe is from Bellevue, NE and his favorite part of Doane so far is “The food at the Caf. Oh boy, do I love the food here at Doane University, where we build leaders.”

Joe is a busy bee on campus; he is involved in the Directions program, Doane Choir, Doublewide, Jazz Unlimited, Collegiate Choir, Concert Band, and Jazz Band! Joe’s primary instruments are voice and trumpet.

You’re truly a joy to have around Joe!!

Doane NAfME had a blast at the KSU Central States Marching Festival!

Congratulations to all the bands for their wonderful performances, especially alumni Anna Harveson with the Conestoga Marching Band.

Freshman Friday!

Our first featured freshman is Lillian Korbel! Lillian is from Wilber, NE and her favorite part of Doane so far is the scenery. She is involved in speech, band, and choir and her primary instruments are trombone and voice.

We love having you Lillian!

The Music Ed sophomores are now full swing in their elementary practicum placements and loving it!

We had a wonderful time celebrating each other on our Banquet on Tuesday!
