Eldred music program shines

ELDRED, NY — Five students from Eldred High School have been selected to perform in advanced regional music programs. Audrey Mellan, Julia Kerhley and Alex D’Angelo will perform in the Hudson Valley Honors Youth Symphonic Band; and Natalie Gonzalez and Tyler Smith will perform with the Wind Ensemble at Monroe-Woodbury High School.

Brian Nivison, the director of music at Eldred Central School district, wrote that these students were the only ones from Sullivan County that are participating.

He wrote, “They were selected through a rigorous audition process that began last June. They each had to make recordings of very difficult and challenging audition pieces to submit to the directors for review. The directors for the two groups are Mr. Richard Regan, director of bands at Monroe-Woodbury High School; and Dr. Bradley Ethington, director of bands at Syracuse University.

“The students participate in five Thursday evening, two-hour-long rehearsals. These began during the first week of the school year. There will be culminating concerts presented on Saturday, October 18 (symphonic band), and Sunday, October 19 (wind ensemble) at Monroe-Woodbury High School.”
