On Thursday, December 14th members of the Maine West Choir and Orchestra programs spent the day touring Algonquin, Chippewa and Iroquois Schools, as well as the Lee Manor Nursing Home. Thank you to the Maine West students for sharing your talents with the community, and a huge shout out to the leaders in District 62 who organized and supported these assembly performances. It was so nice to play for all of your students!
On Friday, December 8th, the Maine West Orchestra performed at the prestigious Illinois ASTA (American String Teachers Association) Orchestra Festival, showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of our sting musicians.
The festival, a key event in the music education calendar, brings together top high school orchestras from across the region. It's a fantastic platform for students to present their skills, learn from their peers, and gain invaluable experience performing in a nurturing environment with excellent clinicians.
The success at the festival is a testament to the hard work of our students and teachers. Thank you to Ms. Daniella Valdez for arranging this opportunity for our students!
