Heritage High Music Department Earns 2023 Blue Ribbon Award

Posted: June 26, 2023

Heritage High School's music department earned a Virginia Music Educators Association 2023 Blue Ribbon Award. The award is the highest honor given to school music programs and recognizes achieved excellence in the school's band and choral performances.

To earn the Blue Ribbon Award, all music disciplines in a school must receive a rating of "superior" during the state assessment. Each of the top performing groups from every ensemble course taught at Heritage earned a superior rating by performing two pieces from approved grade music lists. All performing groups had to sight read or sight sing to be eligible for the award during the association's District Concert Performance Assessment.

In addition to their performances during district events, the Heritage choral ensembles and band have performed at numerous events, showcasing their talents, and bringing honor and pride to the Heritage school community.

Heritage High School is a first-time Blue Ribbon Award winner.
