MLWGS Orchestra Earns Multiple Superior Ratings Playing Level 6 Music

The MLWGS orchestra received straight superior ratings at their recent Assessment at Hanover High School on Thursday, March 7th from the VBODA (Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association). Not only did they receive superior ratings, but they also scored A’s in almost every single subcategory. Additionally, they were the only orchestra in the entire district to play Grade 6 music, which is considered the most challenging level of music.

Our congratulations for this achievement go to Walker’s orchestra students under the direction of Ms. Allison Barnes:
