Dimensions: Celebrate! Music Concert #207Now @mainewestfab

 

This year’s Dimensions Concert lit up the auditorium with joy and energy! Students from band, choir, and orchestra came together, creating a night filled with color, connection, and the pure fun of making music as a community.

The theme Celebrate came to life in every piece. Ensembles highlighted moments of triumph, gratitude, and shared experience, reminding everyone why the arts matter so much in our school. From start to finish, the concert felt like a joyful look at everything our students have worked toward this year—performing together, supporting one another, and sharing music that means something to them.

Congratulations to all of the student musicians and their directors - Mr. Bernie Gerstmayr, Ms. Stefanie Herrera and Ms. Daniella Valdez - on a fantastic performance!

Music Production Students Learn the Art of DJing #207Now #DJ @mainewestfab @MTHSfoundation

 

Today, Music Production students from Maine West and Maine East came together for an exciting, all-day DJ workshop! Led by professional DJs and producers Fausto Lopez and Armando Perez—two talented artists from Chicago—students explored the fundamentals of DJing and got hands-on experience mixing tracks, beatmatching, and experimenting with gear.

The energy was high, and the creativity was flowing! Fausto and Armando shared their industry knowledge, offered real-time feedback, and inspired students with their passion and artistry.

This workshop is just one example of how we’re expanding access to music technology and giving students opportunities to learn directly from working professionals in the field. We’re so proud of our students for diving in and trying something new!

This workshop would not have been possible without the generous support of the Maine Township High School Foundation, who provided the financial support needed to bring in today's guests artists.

The theme of "Perspectives" came to life through their artistry, reminding us how music can open our minds to new ways of seeing and experiencing the world. From intricate harmonies to innovative compositions, every note reflected their dedication and collaboration. Students delivered powerful speeches that deeply connected to the theme, offering the audience meaningful perspectives to reflect on and inspiring new ways of thinking!
