Webb Bridge Middle School opened in 1996. Previous orchestra directors were Sharon
Anderson (1996-99) and Jennifer Batson (1999-2000). James Barket
became Orchestra Director in the Fall of 2000. The orchestras perform three
concerts each year at WBMS. They also participate regularly in the GMEA Large
Group Performance Evaluation and at various community events in the Alpharetta
area. Chamber groups from WBMS also participate in the GMEA Solo & Ensemble
Festival. Since 1996, orchestras from WBMS have consistently received ratings
