Artist of the Week:
T.J. Wright
|
T.J. Wright is a senior Euphonium player in the Nixa band program. T.J has been a member of the Missouri All State band, performs with the Nixa Crimson Corps and Wind Ensemble, and is active in MSHSAA solo and ensemble festivals each year. T.J. serves in the band student leadership and also donates his time to tutor sixth-grade students each day of the week.
“I've found more and more that music has become an outlet for my emotions. Music has a way of being a way for me to bring across my joy to others, or my pain, or my sadness, or whatever I feel. And I'm not very good at that otherwise. So having that outlet, and being able to use music as an emotional outlet, has meant the world to me. Because music is more than the notes on the page, but what the musician feels and puts behind those notes”. -
T.J Wright, Class of 2019.

Nixa High School's Wingspan Named
"Crown Finalist" by CSPA
|
|
Congratulations to the student staff of Wingspan! The magazine has been named a Crown Finalist by Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The award is based on editions of Wingspan completed during the 2017-18 school year.
According to CSPA, "The Crown Awards honor top student publications chosen from CSPA’s members. Crowns are selected for overall excellence in a head-to-head comparison. Student publishing in news, magazine, yearbook or digital (online) formats are all eligible. Crown Finalists are actual winners, not nominees. Some will be announced as Gold Crowns; the rest are Silver Crowns. Final results will be announced and presented at the CSPA ceremonies in March 2019."
The following students were part of the 2017-18 Wingspan staff: Raegan Allen, Camlen Carlile-Davis, Macie Clark, Ciara Davolt, Riley Harris, Mason Miller, Carli Snyder and Alyssa Stewart. Contributors were Lauren Huff, Nadia May, Mia Paladino, Lucy Cave, and Madalyn Tuning.
