♫Noteworthy Bobcat of the Month♫

By Jacob Barnwell

Nicki Neal, of Epworth, is the daughter of John and Lynn Neal, and is a junior at Western Dubuque High School. Nicki has been involved in music programs from an early age, playing many instruments including the piano, clarinet and bass guitar. She is also the president of Tri-M, which is a music honors society. This year, Tri-M’s main goal is to make a difference in the school and community. As an active member in the arts programs at WDHS, Nicki says that her favorite part about these programs is “[t]he enthusiasm.” She goes on to say, “Kids get excited about painting and singing and performing, and the teachers are very supportive and encouraging, which makes the arts program lively and enjoyable to be a part of.” When Nicki is not playing music or organizing events for Tri-M, she enjoys playing tennis, studio dancing, running and designing.  Good luck to Nicki on her future music goals!
