VC Band Performs in Boston
By Blake Anderson

On Tuesday, April 4, the Valley Christian Symphonic Band returned from a week long trip to Boston, though the jet-lagged musicians did not reappear at school until Wednesday. The exciting experience certainly warranted the rest.
The band was participating in the year’s National Invitational Band & Orchestra Festival, also called the Festival of Gold because it required bands to achieve beforehand a “gold” rating for their performances at competitions elsewhere. By the time Valley got to Boston, in most of their minds they had already won. Just to have the opportunity to perform in the Festival of Gold was victory enough.
Much of the time was spent enjoying Boston, starting with a delicious breakfast at Boston’s Hard Rock Café. Valley musicians also attended several workshops at the Logan Hilton Hotel, learning from other musicians and grabbing tips to enhance their skill. The big event on the first day was the visit that night to the famous Boston Symphony Hall for the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s stunning performance of the classic pieces of Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Brahms, as well as Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell.
The next day, the Valley Symphonic Band took the same stage and gave a sterling performance of their own. Valley Band Director Mr. Troy Gunter told his students to savor the rare opportunity of playing in the historic Boston Symphony Hall, designated a national historical landmark and ranked among the three best concert halls in the world. Performing in such an impressive venue no doubt took a fair amount of courage, but the masterful musicians were up to the challenge and the honor.
The entire trip was an amazing experience that will of course linger in the musicians’ memories for some time to come.

Spiritual Emphasis Week

Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share his message with the students of how to separate “what the world tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
