Wellington High School Band Excels at State Assessments

The Wellington High School Band program has had an outstanding spring semester in 2008. For the 1st time in school history, the Wellington High School Jazz Band earned straight Superior ratings at the Florida Bandmasters Association State Jazz Performance Assessment, held on April 1 at Taravella High School in Coral Springs. Following this achievement, the school’s Wind Ensemble earned a Superior rating at the FBA State Concert Music Performance Assessment on April 16 at Vero Beach High School. This is only the 2nd time in school history the Wind Ensemble has earned this honor. The Wellington High School Band program is now the only high school band in Palm Beach County rated Superior in both Jazz and Concert performance at the State level for the 2007-2008 school year. Furthermore, only 13 high schools in the entire state of Florida have achieved this accomplishment this year.   Mary S.
