IMEA Honorees

Congratulations to the eight DHS band students who were recently named to the Illinois Music Educators Association District VII 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 college conductors from around the Midwest. Our DHS students will join their peers from over 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: Colin Davis, oboe; Mitchell Steindler, trumpet; Jacob Taitel, tuba. Vocal Jazz Ensemble: Jordan Barhydt, bass. Honors Jazz Combo: Joey Rosin, alto saxophone. Jazz Band: Eric Guberman, baritone saxophone; Zachry Molina, piano. Orchestra: Adam Kleiman, violin.
