Monroe County Schools were represented at Southern West Virginia Honor Band in Beckley, WV by 14 students from both James Monroe High School and Peterstown Middle School.
These students were a part of two excellent ensembles of students from the southern and central part of West Virginia, combined from music programs from 25 schools total!
Thankful for the students and parents of students who supported them throughout their educational journey and continue to support their music related endeavors! 🎶💜🖤❤️🎶
Special shout out to Alex Craig, 2nd Chair Trumpet in Gold Band, who was selected as one of the soloists on the groups final piece.
