Festival 2009
Congratulations to the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble on their outstanding performances last week at District VI Band Festival. The Symphonic Band received Straight Superior Ratings (I, I, I, I) and the Wind Ensemble received Excellent and Superior Ratings (II, II, II, I).

Thank you to the many students and parents who helped us facilitate the 61 groups who performed on our stage. More than 2500 students came through our doors and we know that all were impressed with our facility, service, and people. For state wide ratings, go to http://www.vboda.org/.

We'd also like to thank the Lynchburg Symphony for loaning their percussion and music stands!

Indoor Update:
The indoor groups both performed two weeks ago...check out their links to the right for photos, videos, and news. Their final performance is the Atlantic Indoor Championships on March 28-29. They would love your support as they compete at Woodbridge HS (Northern Virginia).
