A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Sanders and our Viper Varsity Football Team for winning our first STATE TITLE!  We are so proud of this amazing accomplishment!

In VHS Band News:  Valor Day by Tom Rarick was composed for the Vandegrift High School Percussion Ensemble to honor the life and legacy of the school’s namesake, Lieutenant Matthew Vandegrift, who was killed in Iraq in 2008 while serving in the United States Marines 5th Battalion. “Valor Day” is observed at the school every April in his honor.  Drawing on the number five and the phrase “Second to None” (both borrowed from Lt. Vandegrift’s battalion patch which features five stars along with the phrase “Second to None” inscribed in Latin), the piece features rudimental snare drum, the intervallic relationship of a second, and the reliance on rhythmic groupings of five. Valor Day blends militaristic and modern percussive influences in celebration of Vandegrift High School’s history and commemoration of Lt. Vandegrift’s sacrifice.  The piece can be found at: https://www.tapspace.com/percussion-ensemble/valor-day

The publisher also used a video of our students performing the piece as a “reference recording” for all future ensembles performing the piece.  The link for this is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_PX4Oc3JI8
