Nathan Kiern Memorial

Nathan Kiern was apart of the Mandeville High School band, and has passed away in an accident. The family had chosen to donate all of Nathan's instruments to the band because he was a true lover of music and that is what he would've wanted. This award was given in remembrance of Nathan and his dedication to the band and I was pleased to have this award given to me.
