Norton’s high school marching band has earned a place in the New Year’s Eve Fiesta Bowl Parade and a spot in the Band Championship in Phoenix.
Norton is one of 13 bands in the United States invited to the events.
There are 108 band members out of a student body of 925.
”The band is an important part of school and the city of Norton,” said principal Ron Gerstenmaier, who will go with the group as a chaperone. ”They have worked hard for it. They put in a lot of practice time.”
The Norton band is nationally ranked, with seven Class A championships and five state superior ratings.
Tom Chiera, the music/band director for the last four years, said he wanted the band to have the experience of performing at a bowl and started searching for one last year.
”We do a small trip every two years and were due for a big trip. I wanted the marching band to do it because that’s the feature we do well,” he said.

Lawmakers also received forecasts of 2011-12 school enrollment and local property tax collections, reports that are made only in December.
Changes in local revenues are key to the funding picture for K-12, said Todd Herreid, fiscal director of the Legislative Council staff and a school finance expert.
Those local revenues, which come from property and vehicle taxes, are projected to drop by $143 million for the 2011-12 school year. Read more…
