Congrats to our IMEA Honorees!

Seven Deerfield High School band students were recently named to the Illinois Music Educators Association District VII Music Festivals. These students auditioned with hundreds of other high school musicians from Northeastern Illinois and were chosen based on their tone, technique, and reading skills. They will perform in the district festivals in November where they will work with professional conductors and clinicians. Our DHS students will join their peers from 50 other high schools in a day of intensive rehearsals culminating in a festival performance. Competition for these groups is very keen, and it is a great honor to be selected. Congratulations to the following musicians:

Band: Will Barkalow, clarinet; Colin Davis, oboe; Avery DeMaria, trumpet; Aidan Epstein, bassoon; Mitchell Steindler, trumpet. Jazz Band: Joey Rosin, alto sax. Jazz Choir: Jordan Barhydt, bass.
