band at the national FFA convention in Kansas City this year. Marcy MILLER, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Keith MILLER
of Mount Ayr, will be playing the clarinet as part of the 100-plus member band chosen from musicians from all over
the country. Members of the band were selected after tapes were submitted as an audition for spots with the band,
which will be featured at the national FFA's 61st annual convention November 10-12 in Kansas City, MO.
When the 23,000 members of FFA from across the country meet in Kansas City this week for the national convention,
19 FFA chapter members from Ringgold county will be part of the group. Representing the Mount Ayr Community high
school chapter will be 13 students while the Grand Valley Community high school chapter will have six students attending
the convention.
