Earlier this week, the 63rd annual Grammys were held, highlighting the best artists and records throughout the music industry.

All your favorite artists took home those little golden awards, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Harry Styles, and … Mrs. Nieman?

That’s right everybody, Alden’s own band teacher, Mrs. Kelly Nieman, is now a proud recipient of a Grammy, along with the rest of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. The BPO and BPC, of whom Kelly is a proud member, won the Grammy for Best Choral Performance for their production of the Richard Danielpour piece “The Passion of Yeshua.”

From all of us here in the ACS community, we want to express how proud we are of Mrs. Nieman for this once-in-a-lifetime achievement and hope for more to come.
