Throughout the school year, band programs at our middle and high schools perform at competitions hosted by the South Carolina Band Directors Association. Compiling these scores, SCBDA determines which schools across South Carolina receive the Outstanding Performance Award. OPA is the highest possible award available to band programs in South Carolina.
For the 2025-2026 school year, six Berkeley County School District bands received the Outstanding Performance Award with Distinction.
Hanahan Middle School
Marrington Middle School of the Arts
Sangaree Middle School
Westview Middle School
Goose Creek High School
Stratford High School
To earn this award, band programs must perform at a very high level in all SCBDA events including Marching Band Championships, All-State and Region Band, Concert Performance Assessment, and Solo and Ensemble.
Congratulations to HMS,MMSOA, SRM, WVM, GCH and SHS on achieving this honor!
