Rockets earn superior and excellent OMEA ratings
Rockets earn superior and excellent OMEA ratings
Congratulations to the Rocket band members who earned superior and excellent ratings in the Ohio Music Education Solo & Ensemble Competition as well as those who represented McNicholas in the Catholic Honor Band during Catholic Schools Week.
Band Director Keith Nance said, “All of the students worked really hard for this competition either on a solo or as part of an ensemble. It's a great experience for them because they have the chance to perform for an OMEA music judge and then receive feedback for their performance and a state rating."
The band continues their hard work as they prepare to perform during all-school Mass on Thursday in celebration of Catholic Schools Week.

It is with deep sorrow and gratitude that we mourn the passing of Sr. Judi, a beloved member of the McNicholas community for more than five decades. Sr. Judi’s life was a testament to service, faith, and dedication to the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Her legacy will remain forever imprinted on all who were fortunate enough to know her.
