BHS Band of the Braves Earn Recognitions |
|
The Baldwin High School Concert Band attended their state evaluation, or Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE), at Houston County High School on Thursday, March 17th. After not being able to attend in 2021 due to COVID-19, the band was very excited to return to this state-wide event. Their hard work paid off as the program received 3 Superior ratings for their on-stage performance and 1 Superior rating in the sight-reading room, making it an overall sweep of all Superior ratings. A Superior rating is classified as an outstanding performance worthy of distinction as it is recognized as being among the very best. We would also like to congratulate the following students for making the Region Honor Band. These students will represent the Baldwin High School band program at Valdosta State University on April 7-9.
9/10 grade band: Jacob Bennett (Flute), Rachel Brooks Flute), and Kody Reese ( Percussion)
11/12 grade band: JaQuan Moore (Clarinet), Julius Moore (Clarinet), JaQuan Moore (Bass Clarinet). Ashton Davis (Tenor Saxophone), Yalonda Wright (Trombone), and Elliot Callender (Tuba)

Congratulations, MHA fifth graders!
Thank you, Midway Hills Academy, SRO Deputy Jones, for a job well done! Special thanks to guest speaker Ms. Lakisha Harris, Baldwin County School alumna and former C.H.A.M.P.S. graduate!
