Student Shout-Outs!
Addie Brudin, Grade 5
Addie Brudin was chosen as an All Star performer during the Junior Theater Festival held in Atlanta over the MLK weekend. Her group from DMR Adventures (led by Melissa Charles, former Peabody School Drama teacher), performed a condensed version of Guys and Doll for adjudication. As an All Star, she also got to perform in the main stage in front of the 6000 festival attendees. Way to go Addie!

Congratulations to Claire Newman who auditioned and was accepted into the All-District band! This ensemble is comprised of middle school students from ten counties in central Virginia. To participate in this event, students must audition. Those with the highest scores are asked to play with the ensemble. Students who are accepted into the All-District band participate in two days of intensive rehearsals followed by a final performance. Their performance will take place on Saturday February 3rd at 3:30pm in the Albemarle High School auditorium. It is a free concert and is open to the public.
