Several current and former Randolph County School System (RCSS) students and educators showcased their musical talents earlier this month as members of the Greensboro Concert Band, performing in a concert held Saturday, April 18 at Dana Auditorium in Greensboro.
The event highlighted not only the musical excellence within the RCSS community, but also the way local educators and students continue to contribute to the broader arts culture across the Triad region.
Among the performers was Grant Powers, a proud RCSS alumnus (PGHS) currently completing his sophomore year at the UNC Greensboro School of Music, where he is majoring in Music Performance. He was joined by Jonah Key, a current sophomore at Providence Grove High School, along with several dedicated music educators from across the district.
Representing RCSS were band directors and music educators Mr. Beck (Providence Grove High School), James Smith (Wheatmore High School), and Mrs. Miranda Walker (Level Cross Elementary School), as well as Mr. Walker, Band Director at Northeastern Randolph Middle School. Together, they performed alongside fellow musicians, demonstrating the strong connection between RCSS music programs and the wider regional arts community.
The concert also featured a special moment of connection between generations of musicians, as educators and students performed side by side, highlighting the continuity of musical excellence being cultivated in RCSS classrooms and beyond.
These performances reflect the dedication of RCSS music educators and students who not only develop their talents within school programs, but also continue to share their passion and skills with audiences throughout the Triad.
