"The West Virginia University Invitational High School Honor Bands is a two-day event for high school band students. Selected students are placed into one of three clinic bands based on a brief audition held at the beginning of the event. These bands rehearse throughout the two days of the clinic and present a final performance on Saturday. In addition to working with outstanding nationally-known conductors, students are treated to a performance by the WVU Wind Symphony and also have the opportunity to participate in masterclasses offered by members of the WVU School of Music faculty. "
The 44th Annual WVU Honor Bands Concert will be presented in the Clay Concert Theatre at the WVU Creative Arts Center on Saturday, February 15 at 1:30 P.M.

🚀 Engineering Internship in Ms. Ramezan's Science 7 Class 🔬
Students in Ms. Ramezan's Science 7 class stepped into the shoes of mechanical engineers! They were challenged to design a supply pod to deliver humanitarian aid to disaster-stricken areas.
First, they explored collision & impact forces by taking on an egg drop challenge —learning how mass and speed affect design. The data helped them create a supply pod that minimized cargo damage, kept costs low, and even transformed into a rain & shade shelter for up to 3 people! 🌧️
They put their skills in force & motion to the test—and the results speak for themselves! 💡#STEAMeducation #GoGilmer #ScienceClass #FutureEngineers
