It has been a busy week for the music department!
On Saturday, March 9, many band and choir students performed at the WSMA District Solo and Ensemble Festival at Hamilton HS. 140 students performed solos, duets, trios and quartets with 52 entries earning the highest rating. They will go on to the WSMA State Solo and Ensemble Festival in May.
During Spring Break, the band program is traveling to Washington DC. They will visit many of the Smithsonian Museums, the Capitol, the National Aquarium, and the many monuments. Students will see the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetery. On Sunday, March 24, they perform on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at 1:00 pm. It will surely be a memorable trip. They have been practicing for this special performance.
