The celebration continued on Wednesday, October 1, as the four Willow Springs Middle School Orchestras, led by Ashley Dickens and Gabriel Ramon, took the stage. Each ensemble performed with excitement, confidence, and beautiful musicianship, proudly demonstrating their growth since the start of the school year.
The week concluded on Thursday, October 2, when the Lovejoy High School Orchestras, directed by Brandie Phillips and Sarah Moffatt, dazzled audiences with performances ranging from classical masterpieces to spooky seasonal selections — the perfect way to welcome October! 🎃🎶
Across all campuses, students performed with artistry, teamwork, and joy, reminding us that music truly connects our community. We are so proud of every musician for their dedication and passion!
