Collage 2018

We had a great Collage this year!  There were some many parents, the performances were excellent.  I thought both the Jazz Band and Pops Orchestra we especially great, not to mention the chamber ensembles and Jazz Experience!  Thank you for a great night!

Solo and Ensemble Contest Recap

Great Series of Winter Performances

Thank you students for a series of great performances these past few weeks.  Going all the way back to January and the 7th grade orchestra festival at LTHS, the orchestra concert, the Jazz Band performing at the Chicago Wolves, and the band concert, our students did an amazing job!  Thank you for your efforts!  But, we are not done!  There are events still to go this school year and I am looking forward to some more wonderful performances!
