This past weekend, the band traveled to Branson where they performed for a panel of judges and earned 2nd place in their division. Even more impressive, they ranked 3rd overall out of seven high school bands competing. 👏 What makes this accomplishment even more special is that nearly one-third of our band is made up of 8th graders performing alongside schools made up entirely of 9th-12th grade students. Their hard work, dedication and musicianship were on full display all weekend long. Congratulations to our student musicians and directors on an incredible performance!

Way to go, VPMS students and staff! 💙🧡
