Music to Our Ears

By Neleh Geiger

The JH choruses delivered one of the best Fall concerts in recent memory! The kids sang beautifully and made Mr. Delbridge a proud director!!! In addition to their performances, 5 students were recognized for making ILMEA District 2 Choirs. 8th grader Steven Urbanc was selected to be in the mixed choir, while Abby Christianson, Sophie Berchtold, Aylish Scott and Sawyer Scott were selected to be in the Treble choir. The District 2 festival is November 4th at Augustana College.

The High School chorus will participate in the Lincoln Trail Conference Chorus Festival on Monday October 30th at Wethersfield High School in Kewanee. All the choirs from each school in the conference are combined to make one huge festival chorus. The students will rehearse from 1:30pm-5 and then put on a concert at 6:30pm. The public is invited to attend! Admission is free!!!

This month, Jordan Winters, Shelby Coats, Dillion Cafferty, and Neleh Geiger went to Monmouth College to perform in their Honor Band. A hard day's work ended with an amazing performance to anyone that came to watch. 

Caleb Christianson placed in the Senior Orchestra for ILMEA District II on French Horn.

Last is the JH Fall Concert. The JH Fall Concert went great and we had a combined band of 69 students, the largest band to perform at Princeville since Mr. Kestner’s been a director here.

In the future, Band has the EIU Honor Band that is first to come. Students are preparing their audition songs for the end of the month of December. Next is the Veteran’s Day assembly where the band will play prelude, postlude, and the service song medley. Then there is Pep & Roch band, their first performance is with the first home Girls Basketball game on November 29th. Last but not least is the Christmas Concert.
