WHHS BAND RECEIVES EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE STATE CONCERT MPA SUPERIOR
This past Tuesday, April 15, the WHHS Symphonic Band traveled to Vero Beach High School to participate in the annual Florida Band Masters Association State Concert MPA. There, the members had their best performance of the year for their MPA Music. There was a wonderful feeling of musicality and energy all throughout the performance and as they walked off stage. This performance was well received by the audience and judges as well, earning the band straight superiors. This of course awarded the band with the prestigious "Otto J. Kraushaar" Award, which is given to bands who earn year long straight superiors. This marks the band with their eighth consecutive state level superior and their sixth "Kraushaar". Congratulations WHHS Band for representing the school and community so well.


DEVILETTES EARN STATE SUPERIOR
April 9th, the WHHS Devilettes returned to the state level FBA Solo and Ensemble. In preparation, the team worked extremely hard perfecting their kick routine to MC Hammer's Early '90s hit Can't Touch This. While their performance time was extremely early in the morning, they performed with a high level of precision and energy. Also, two soloists, Alley Cioffi and Carlie Stine, each earned a superior on their solos. This was a wonderful day for the team and we are very proud of their work.
