Westwood Middle School Band students participated in the 2020 Middle School All District Band Event. This year’s event was held at Martinsville High School on February 13-15. In order to participate these students had to audition against many other top band students in our district. They were selected as the top in their section. During the two day event, the students had an opportunity to meet fellow musicians and learn new band literature. At the end of the event, they performed a concert for a large audience, which included their family and friends. The students enjoyed every minute of it.
The Concert Band was under the direction of Mrs. Lanie Radecke and the Symphonic Band was under the direction of Mrs. Erin Cole. Westwood Middle School Band is under the direction of Mr. Demond McNair. We are very proud of how hard all of the students worked this school year to reach this goal and how far they have grown musically.
The 2020 All District Band students are as follows:
Emmanuel Waller 1st Chair Concert Band
Princess Wilson 13th Chair Concert Band
Edgerryn Cobbs 6th Chair Concert Band
Chris Haper Jr. 3rd Chair Concert Band
