AWARDS AND RECOGNITION
Congratulations to the Lake Braddock students who made 2008 All-State Band:
Emily Wilson - French Horn
Jeremy Kim - Trumpet
Allson Miserendino - Euphonium
Eddy Eby - Trombone
Paul Foster - Tuba
Tory Robinette - Alto Saxophone
Auditions for All-State band took place at James Madison University on February 23, 2008.
"To qualify for an All-State audition, students had to be in the top 5% to 8% of the kids auditioning for District Band. From there each of the 16 Distircts sent their predetermined number of students to JMU for the audtition. Less than 1/3 of the auditioning students from any section can qualify for an All-State ensemble. For example 16 districts send 2 Tubas each for the band auditions and additional players that may qualify from All-Region Orchestra auditions. In total 38 tuba players auditioned for 11 spots. Even getting an audition is a strong testament to a students ability-especially from this district where there are several stong programs." ~ Mr. Holder

Bruin Band Tradition
The history of the Lake Braddock Band is one of continued excellence reflecting the dedication of hard-working students, parents, and faculty. At a special concert in May 1995, the Sudler Flag of Honor was awarded to the Lake Braddock Symphonic Band. The Sudler Award identifies, recognizes, and honors high school programs that demonstrate high standards of excellence over a period of several years. This award is a product of the whole band program, not just one band. Placement is based on audition results and instrumental balance.Band members are joined by the Color Guard to make up the Marching Band. This group performs at home football games and competes in area marching competitions. After marching season, the band begin its concert season. Springtime offers opportunities to compete in concert festivals. Records indicate the Lake Braddock Band entered its first competition during the 1977-78 school year, and it has continued to perform in competition and at festivals. Lake Braddock is the first school in the Commonwealth of Virginia to receive 25 consecutive Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association (VBODA) State Honor Plaques. The following list of honors and awards is but a part of the accumulated list of accolades received by these various organizations.
