It's the time of year that every director just LOVES.... evaluations!

We will be hosting LGPE next week on 3/6 & 3/7.

 In addition to Durham, orchestra groups from Lost Mountain, Lovinggood, Palmer, Pine Mountain, Awtrey, Barber, and McClure will be evaluated in our school.

Our beta students and parent volunteers did an outstanding job last year, and we were complimented by the judges as well as county officials.  I know we can do a great job this year too!  Something like this takes community effort, and Durham sure knows how to pitch in!
Thanks everyone :)
