Well, for those of you who knew we were making a video in an attempt to win a CamDolly from TubeTape.com, here is the glorious attempt we submitted today.  Enjoy.

 

We give our deepest thanks for all the bands who came to the Powhatan fall Classic on October 29.  It was a wonderful event, and all the bands were smashingly good.

Congratulations to all of the bands who performed.

This is a must-hear event!  The Powhatan Wind Ensemble and Percussion II will be performing another spooky old-time radio show.  This year's event is a double-feature: radio dramatizations of Edgar Allen Poe's The Cask of Amontillado and Rudyard Kipling's The Mark of the Beast. You'll hear other fun performances from the Wind Ensemble, as well. A delicious buffet dinner is served by the PHS Culinary Arts department.

Join us in the PHS commons for this fun audio experience.

Dinner is served at 6:pm
Performance begins at 7:pm
and lasts about 45 minutes

Tickets are $10
$5 for children 6 and under, and we are prepared
for your specialized dietary needs upon request.

Tickets are on sale at the following locations:
1. PHS band members
2. PHS front office
3. PHS band office
Although young children are most certainly welcome, the
entertainment fare is focused towards older children through adults.

Each summer, the PHS music department students get together to experience the PHS Music Leadership Seminar.  The student leadership from the band and choral programs study how to lead with a positive attitude, the most effective peer leadership techniques, and they hear (via video) from some of the most forward-thinking minds of the 21st century -- folks like Benjamin Zander, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, Derek Sievers, Carly Fiorina, and Matt Ridley.  Core concepts include essential elements of leadership, peer-to-peer relationships, how to apply today's techniques to their adult experience, and being second in command.

"It was an eye-opening experience," says senior Sammy Spott, "we received a lot of tools to aid in developing a leadership relationship with our peers."
