The Cooper Middle School Band has been invited to perform at The Midwest Clinic International Band and Orchestra Conference in Chicago, December 21-22. The International Conference is a highly esteemed event that draws an average of 16,000 attendees from all 50 states and 40 foreign countries in the music field. The Cooper Symphonic Band, the only band from Virginia participating in the conference, successfully navigated a rigorous audition process to secure a spot to perform at this prestigious gathering. 

During the conference, students will have the opportunity to interact with renowned composers, musicians, and clinicians through three demonstration sessions tailored specifically for music educators. These sessions aim to enhance their skills and expertise in their craft.
