VHS Music Program Shines at National Conference
The 55-member Viera High School wind ensemble performed March 1 at the 2024 College Band Directors National Association/ National Band Association (CBDNA/NBA) Southern Division Conference at the University of Memphis in Tennessee.
“Being selected to perform for the members of these esteemed musical organizations is one of the highest honors for our Instrumental Music Program I can think of,” Viera’s instrumental music director Nick Eggen wrote in an email.
“There are 10 states in the southern division of CBDNA and three high schools were selected to perform at this conference, with Viera High School being one of them. I cannot overstate how proud I am of our students, families and community for supporting us in this endeavor.”
The Viera ensemble, which was selected through a blind audition, performed in Tampa at the 2024 Professional Development Conference hosted by the Florida Music Educators Association in January.
