The Woodinville High School Orchestra has been selected to perform for the Washington Music Educators Association biennial conference in Yakima, Washington in February 2010.  To be selected to perform at a WMEA State conference is the highest honor that can be bestowed on any musical ensemble in the school setting. The WHS students represent the highest caliber of high school musicians in our region. Ensembles are only invited to perform when they represent the highest possible standard of musical excellence and achievement. 
Invitation to perform at this conference is by audition only.

Director Eric Lucas and his students will perform for music educators from across the state attending this conference. They will demonstrate to the many attendees what can be achieved in orchestral performance when correct student motivation and teaching strategies are implemented. (10/15/09)
