The Nebraska State Bandmasters Association has honored Lincoln Public Schools Supervisor of Music Lance Nielsen with its 2021 Outstanding Administrator Award. \u00a0<\/p>

Here\u2019s what Mickle Middle School Band Instructor Mary Pfoltner said about Nielsen:<\/p>

\u201cHe wants every opportunity available to be provided for the music students in Lincoln Public Schools and he strives to support all the music staff as well. He knows and understands the benefits of music in a person’s life and wants everyone to enjoy music to its fullest. He supervises six high schools, 12 middle schools and 39 elementary buildings. He needs to be extremely organized and on top of his game to keep all these different and unique music programs operating. He organizes and facilitates all festivals and contests. He deals with music, repair and supply budgets. He is promoting music and his teachers to the fullest extent and truly enjoys watching the individual programs and students grow into great musicians. In this terrible pandemic he has spent countless hours keeping up on the latest research in order for music to continue as safely as possible in our schools. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty for Lincoln Public Schools.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
