- Spring Concert Update! Tuesday, May 20th...has been moved to the Don Tew PAC (at LHS) to accomodate some of our parents who also have 6th Grade Band Students at HMS. They will begin at 6:30 PM. We will begin at 7:00 PM. Come early to get a blast from the past and hear (remember) what these VRHS band students sounded like when they were that age! It won't last long, and we will be able to begin quickly after they finish. Who knows...maybe they'll stay around to hear some of our concert.
