Upper School Students at All-District Band
Last month, 23 Upper School band students auditioned for the VBODA District 12 Honor Band, competing against 500 of the top high school band students across Fairfax County. Two of our percussionists were selected to be in the ensemble; Jack Morgan ‘24 placed in the symphonic band, and Ben Schirmeier ‘23 earned a spot in the prestigious wind ensemble. The All-District Band event was held this past weekend. The students rehearsed for three days under the direction of Major Ryan Nowlin of the United States Marine Band and Dr. Caroline Beatty of Texas State University, then performed a concert at Oakton High School. Ben's score also qualifies him to audition for the Virginia All-State Honor Band. Congratulations to our students!
