2012-2013 News and Announcements

Our Wind Ensemble has been invited to perform at the NC Music Educators Conference in November.  This prestigious performance opportunity will be just the 2nd time in the 25 year history of Providence High School that a band has been asked to performed.   The first occurred in 2003.  Our ensemble is one of just three high schools in the state of North Carolina to receive the invitation for this coming year.

Thanks to the work of Mr. Lattimore, the band trailer has had some much needed repairs completed and this beautiful new wrap put on it to fix the fading that was occurring on the trailer. When you see the trailer in person, you will also note the subtle music staff that is designed into the new look as well.

The calendar has been updated to include Marching Band events from August-December.

Our Winter Guard completed its 2013 season by winning the Carolina Winter Ensemble Association's Circuit Championship. This is the first CWEA Circuit Championship since 2009! The group was Carolina Indoor Performance Association Circuit Champions in 2012. 

Congratulations to the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band and Concert Band on their performance at Music Performance Adjudication this year. All three ensembles performed very well, showing great growth in the journey. The Wind Ensemble (Level VI) and Symphonic Band (Level V) each earned Superior Ratings, while the Concert Band (Level IV) earned an Excellent Rating, just missing a Superior also.
