🎼Wolverines Earn Superior Band Assessments Rating

  • West Potomac Bands had three students successfully audition into one of the three All State Bands:
    • Nic Ries- Bass Trombone- Orchestra- 1st in the state
    • Aiden Bratten- Tenor Trombone- Symphonic Band- 6th in the state
    • Molly Gorman- Clarinet- Concert Band- 24th in the state
  • These students will travel to Richmond on April 24-26 to perform in the All Virginia Band, Chorus, and Orchestra event.
  • On March 7-8, West Potomac hosted the District X Concert Band Assessment with the Virginia Band & Orchestra Directors' Association (VBODA). Under the direction of Mr. Joe Antonucci, West Potomac had three bands perform their own assessment programs. All groups were incredibly successful! 4th Period Band earned an overall 1 (SUPERIOR). 2nd Period Band earned an overall 2 (EXCELLENT). Our top band, 1st Period Concert band, performed a MAMMOTH Grade 6 (highest level) program spanning almost 30 minutes of performance time, and received straight SUPERIOR ratings from all 4 judges. What all groups are doing is genuinely special.
  • The results of 1st Period’s SUPERIOR assessment performance combined with the SUPERIOR ratings earned by the Marching Band at their state assessment once again earns West Po the title of Virginia State Honor Band for 2024-25. This is the first back-to-back Honor Band title for West Potomac post-Covid (We were an Honor Band in 2023-2024 as well).
