The Natural State Brass Band placed second in the Challenge Section at the North American Brass Band Association Championships, held in Louisville, Kentucky, April 13-14, 2007.
According to 4barsrest.com:
"The top two placing bands, Massanutten (pronounced like nut in the middle) and Natural State, had very challenging programs and from what we did hear played them quite well. Kevin Stees, director of Massanutten, had actually conducted James Madison to a victory on Coventry Variations two years earlier in the Honors Section.
"Natural State Band (Rusty Morris) performed Variations on Maccabeus. The band showed off its technical prowess in the own choice and had a consistent effort in the set piece."
Stephen Cross, Eb soprano cornet, placed third in the high brass technical solo contest held on April 13. Stephen performed the second movement of the "Toot Suite."
