New Castle County will host it’s first Honor Band (All-County Band) this Saturday (3/2/19) at Brandywine High School. The concert begins at 7:00 pm and is free to the public. The conductor is Professor Heidi Sarver from the University of Delaware. The program is Among the Clouds (Balmages), In the Bleak Midwinter (Holst), Sun Dance (Ticheli), and An American Elegy (Ticheli). The following students are representing A.I. duPont High School:
Ryan Barrell – Trumpet, AJ Cesario – Flute, Olivia Dooley – Clarinet, Owen Fresolone – Bassoon, Rachel Henry – Trumpet, Chris Hewlett – Baritone Saxophone, Zaynir Ramsey – Euphonium.
Owen Fresolone will also participate in the Delaware All-State Senior Band as the principal bassoonist. That concert will take place at Caesar Rodney High School on Saturday, 3/30/19 at 6:00 pm.
Side Note – Since we had to cancel the spring music trip to NY, all checks and payments were returned to the students. We are looking into the possibility of doing a 1-day trip. Information regarding that will be shared once it is available.
