On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, we celebrated the GROUND BREAKING for our future INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BUILDING, scheduled to open in the Fall of 2021. While our campus is closed for instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, construction continues on our new instrumental music building. Thank you to our community for passing Measure WV which is funding many modernization projects throughout our Walnut Valley Unified School District. We are excited to share this virtual walkthrough!

​Congratulations to our Brahma musicians who auditioned and were chosen for the California All-State Band and the California All-State Orchestra. This is the 10th year in a row Diamond Bar High has the most ALL STATE of any high school in the state!



​
Beginning each fall, over 70,000 high school music students across California participate in their local music programs.  Thousands of these students will then audition for acceptance in their local and regional honor groups. The highest-ranking musicians then move on to the state level, where the undergo a rigorous recording and judging process to be identified as California All-State musicians. The top- ranking 500 of this group of talented musicians are then selected to perform in one of California All-State Bands, Orchestras, and Choirs. These All-State ensembles rehearse for three days, directed by nationally recognized conductors, and perform on the closing day of the annual CASMEC (California All-State Music Education Conference). This year the event will be held at the Fresno Convention Center. February 17-20. CONGRATULATIONS!
