ILMEA Elementary General Music Festival

Congratulations to the following Gary D. Wright Elementary School fifth graders who were selected to participate in the District 9 Elementary General Music Festival, which was held today at Oak Hill Elementary School in Streamwood: Jacob Coffey, Sophia Bernaegye, Alexander McDuffie, John Tyler, Autumn Olson, Hendrix Gohde, Brylee Currie, Brooke VanDusen, Rylie Doerner, and Emma Tyrcha.

Mrs. Henning and these students represented GDW at the festival, which provided a unique musical experience presented by the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA).  At the festival, students had the opportunity to learn from a variety of masterful clinicians who taught specialized lessons on topics such as drumming, movement, part-singing, and instrumental enrichment.  Way to go, Wildcats!
