Welcome to the Suburban East Conference Music Festival On behalf of our ten member schools, we welcome you to the annual Suburban East Conference Music Festival. The top bands, choirs and orchestras from our respective schools spent the day working with three prominent music clinicians, polishing and perfecting their own musical skills, and listening to performances by their peers from other schools. Tonight we conclude our music festival with a concert that features the finest vocal and instrumental musicians in the Suburban East Conference. We believe that the students in our All-‐Conference Band, Choir, and Orchestra represent some of the very best high school musicians in the United States. This festival is one of many activities hosted by the Suburban East Conference that promotes the fine arts. All ten-‐member schools agree that the fine arts are an integral element of the education of a child, and this music festival is just one example of how we are committed to the fine arts. Cretin-‐Derham Hall High School and East Ridge High School are pleased and proud to be able to host the Suburban East Music Festival this year. We hope you enjoy tonight’s performance.
