Bravo to all the students who participated in the Bland Scholarship Competition yesterday sponsored by local Lions Clubs! Two winners represented The Music Staff: BENJAMIN LITTLEJOHN won 1st place with a Grieg Nocturne (Western Branch Lions Club), and WADE GARRETT won 1st place with the Khatchaturian Toccata (Portsmouth Lions Club). They will both compete at the District level on March 15th at Smithfield High School. Both are students of Mary Ann Medlin. Good luck to you both!!!
