Following two days of rehearsals on February 6 and 7, the students will present an evening of music on February 7 at Woodbridge High School, 3001 Old Bridge Rd., Woodbridge. The 7:30 p.m. concert is free and open to the public.
The All-County Junior Honors Orchestra will be directed by Mark Taylor, orchestra director and music educator at the elementary and middle school levels in Fairfax County, Virginia.
