Wheeling Park High School is currently preparing to present its annual Festival of Sound. The event would be made available in December via Wheeling Park High School and Ohio County Schools social media platforms. Patriot music students were scheduled to take part in recording sessions for the event beginning Friday, but that is not possible due to today’s “Red” designation by the West Virginia School Alert System.
The “Red” designation prohibits students from taking part in extracurricular activities.
Wheeling Park High School Music Department staff members are hopeful that Ohio County will be moved from the “Red” designation next week so that plans for Festival of Sound can move forward.
Wheeling Park’s music students have worked hard in preparation for Festival of Sound, and Wheeling Park and Ohio County Schools administrators remain hopeful that the event can be held. Ohio County Schools would also like to thank Wheeling Park Orchestra Director Ben Podolski, Band Director David Alfred, Choir directors Joyce Jingle and Christie Greenwood, Percussion and Steel Director Seth Bell and Speech Coach Bill Cornforth for all of their work in preparation for Festival of Sound.
