Bands, Orchestras, Choirs - Our new Alma Mater

On behalf of our band and orchestra students, WolfTrap awarded us a grant to compose an Alma Mater for Wootton’s 50th Anniversary.

This artist in residence program brought musician, composer, and conductor C. L. Thomas to lead a series of master classes on composition and music technology. Students worked with Mr. Thomas to create an alma mater celebrating the school’s 50th anniversary. Thomas arranged the new composition for choral singers, concert band, and marching band.

Bands & Orchestras Composition Project

Not only did students contribute to Wootton's 50th Anniversary Alma Mater, they also created their own composition projects. Click on the titles to the left to listen to examples of our student's short, creative compositions.
