Charlottesville students to honor those who served on Veterans Day

Students from Charlottesville City Schools will honor those who served during several special Veterans Day events on Wednesday, November 11. 

CHS Band to perform at Veterans Day Ceremony

The Charlottesville High School Band’s Wind Ensemble will be performing at the annual Veterans Day Ceremony in the Lane Auditorium at the Albemarle County Office Building (401 McIntire Rd, Charlottesville). 

“Performing at this ceremony has been an honor and a tradition of the Charlottesville High School Band program for decades,” CHS Band Director Jason Hackworth said. 

The Wind Ensemble will be performing prior to the ceremony, and will also be involved in music during the ceremony, including during the National Anthem and Echo Taps. Prelude music for the event, which is hosted by American Legion Post 74, will begin at around 10:30am, with the ceremony beginning at 11am. 

Greenbrier Elementary to honor veterans

Greenbrier Elementary School (2228 Greenbrier Drive, Charlottesville) has partnered with Hospice of the Piedmont to create a special event honoring veterans from our community and Greenbrier family members who have served. During Wednesday’s Veterans Day event, which begins at 1:30pm, Greenbrier students will share their writing, perform songs, and present our veterans with handmade clay stars as a token of gratitude.
