All-District Band Concert (VBODA Dist. 12)

Herndon High School's Band Department will host the all-distirct band concert for the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Accociation (VBODA) District 12, which will include students from 15 high school and 16 middle school bands from around northern Fairfax County. The audition-only bands (of which there will be three) include approximately 250 of the best student-musicians in VBODA District 12. The conductors, two from Ithaca College and one from the University of Colorado-Boulder, are nationally known for their conducting and teaching skills. The concert is the culmination of two days of clinics and rehearsals led by these conductors. The music selected for the concert ranges from well known themes such as "America, the Beautiful" to choral music arranged for bands. The richly orchestrated music will challenge the student-mucisians and it will inspire and impress audience members. This concert will be one of the finest high school and middle school band concerts of the year in our region.
