Today, November 15, is VSDB's birthday!! Please join us in celebrating the legacy that has carried VSDB through 184 years and still going strong. To all of our VSDB family, THANK YOU!
Check out this update from our music teacher, Mr. Buchanan, about district choir! As he shared the results with the students, our school photographer was there to catch some candid shots. Scroll to the end to see their reactions to the news.
As you all might know we took four students to audition for district choir this year. This is an event that all schools in our district participate in to showcase the vocal talent in our classroom. Last year we were able to get two students into the event with one alternate. This year, just like last year, we went into the auditions with the goal of showing what we could do. This year the piece was very challenging and we only expected to use it as a learning experience. However, I am pleased to announce that we have 3 students representing our school with one hopeful first alternate. As a second year music teacher I can’t fully express the amount of pride I feel for each of these students. I know that through the nerves that all of us felt the day of the audition. These students will have the experience of a lifetime as they are not judged by what they can’t do but rather what they can do and, through this, build the confidence nessesarry to achieve things they never thought possible. Please join me in celebrating our 2023 district choir representatives Amayah Hall, Charlotte Sterling, Nikita Razinkov as well as our first alternate tenor Jacob Warner.
