The University of Virginia McIntire Department of Music is pleased to announce the Fall Concert of the UVA Wind Ensemble on Sunday October 30, 2011 at 3:30pm in Old Cabell Hall.
Grafton High School’s band program started up in 1996, the year of the school’s founding, with a total of 96 members in its first year, including the Concert Band and Marching Band. Since then, the band has grown to over 240 musicians in multiple ensembles, leading to the development of a new band room to accommodate the growth. The concert band consistently earns Superior ratings at festivals, and has been named a Virginia State Honor Band five times. Mr. Darren Kirsch has been the Director of Bands since the school’s opening in 1996, and also works with VMEA and VBODA.
Tickets for the Wind Ensemble Concert at 3:30pm on Sunday, October 30 are $10 for the General Public, $5 for Students, and free for UVA Students who reserve at least 24 hours in advance.
