The Virginia Music Educators Association (VMEA) selected 38 Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) high school students for the 2022 All-Virginia Band, Chorus, and Orchestra. In addition, 14 students were selected as alternates for the choir.
"Selection
for
an
All-Virginia
ensemble
represents
the
highest
honor
that
the
Virginia
Music
Educators
Association
can
give
to
a
student
and
is
an
extraordinarily
rare
achievement,"
said
Dr.
Ed
Stephenson,
supervisor
of
the
arts
in
PWCS.
"It
is
a
testament
to
the
dedication
of
our
music
educators,
hard
work,
and
discipline
of
our
students,
and
the
steadfast
support
of
our
parents."
With
this
honor,
students
recently
participated
in
a
two-and-a-half-day
series
of
rehearsals,
featuring
a
guest
conductor,
and
participated
in
a
full
group
performance.
Congratulations
to
the
PWCS
students
selected
for
the
All-Virginia
Choir.
