If you were in the Exeter-Milligan gymnasium on the evening
of Monday, April 15th you were treated to an excellent hour of music
by the Exeter-Milligan Junior High and High School performers.
The Junior High Choir opened the concert with “I’se The B’y”
followed by “The Journey” and the fast-paced “Cripple Creek.”
The Junior High Band performed next playing “March of the
Irish Guard,” and “Legend of the Eagles.”
After the Junior High took their seats, the High School
Women’s Ensemble performed a beautiful rendition of “The Violet” before they
were joined by selected 7th and 8th grade girls to
harmonize in “Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burnin’.”
The High School Band took the stage next with the first
performance from the saxophone quintet Jennifer Pribyl, Devin Sheffield, Toni
Bossaller, Erica Yound and Madison Horne.
Then the crowd was treated to vocals as the Girls Trio of
Ashley Miller, Kimberlin Ruhl and Meghan Miller performed “Annabel Lee,” and
were accompanied by Exeter-Milligan alum Jessica Ruhl.
The percussion ensemble, Meredith Emshoff, Janey Due, Jack
Dinneen, Taylor Erdkamp, Elliot Erdkamp and Megan Waldron performed “Trepak”
from the Nutcracker Suite.
The Senior High Band previewed the two numbers that they
will be playing for the upcoming district music contest, “Circus Bee” and a
riveting rendition of “Bridgeview Overture.”
To end the main part of the concert the Junior High Band
joined the Senior High Band and together they played “Bluin’ the Blues” and
“City of Lights.”
After the concert was over the crowd was invited to the band
room to hear many of the solos and groups perform their pieces for this week’s
District music contest. Before the concert, the Exeter-Milligan Arts
Boosters treated the students to a pizza supper.
