Congratulations to the 43 Brahmas who have been selected to perform with the 2022 All-Southern California High School Honor Band and Orchestra. Over 150 schools sent in recordings of their best instrumental music students, with 81 schools having students selected for the 280 available spots. They will be performing in Santa Monica on April 9th with some of the best professional and university conductors in the nation.
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!

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.
