Dacusville Middle School

All County Band brings together top middle and high school musicians from across the district for an intensive, audition-based honor ensemble experience. This year, nearly 350 SDPC students in grades 6–12 auditioned, with 176 musicians earning a spot through a rigorous process that included scales, a prepared solo, and challenging sight-reading. In less than nine hours of rehearsal at Pickens High School, students—many playing together for the first time—came together to create music at an impressive level.

The junior band, conducted by Chris Mitchell (Powdersville Middle School), performed four pieces, while the senior band, led by Joe Gulledge (retired Clover High School director), performed five. A huge thank you to Domino’s of Clemson for donating 50 pizzas to feed nearly 200 students and staff during Monday night’s rehearsal. And special thanks to our SDPC middle and high school band directors for the outstanding preparation that made this high-level performance possible—we’re incredibly proud of our musicians and educators.

Experiences like All County Band reflect SDPC’s strong commitment to fine arts education and the exceptional talent and dedication of our student musicians.
