Awards in Excellence 2022

4/28/2022

0 Comments

 
We look forward each year to having our DVMTA Awards in Excellence, which allows students to perform and be judged, and to receive cash and trophy awards for their excellence. Auditions were held on April 9, 2022 at Hammer and Strings Conservatory, where 65 students from 10 different DVMTA teachers performed for our outstanding judges. They received scores, along with thoughtful praise and suggestions for improvement. Those selected as winners in each level were invited to perform at one of two Winners Recitals, which was held on April 23, 2022 at the same location. Performances were beyond amazing, and prizes were awarded to the winners and those who received honorable mention status. Many thanks to all teachers who prepared their students so wonderfully, to our judges, and to Lorri McHardy, and the Awards in Excellence committee.

Cavalcade of Rhythm Performance Feb. 26, 2022

4/11/2022

After months of preparation and practice, students, teachers and families gathered at Mesquite High School for the 2022 Cavalcade of Rhythm Duet Ensemble. The 2021 performance was done virtually on YouTube, and we were so thrilled to be together on stage this year to share this unique musical experience with our friends and family. With the exciting "Music at the Movies" theme, students performed movie music favorites during two evening performances. The smiles said it all, and we are so grateful for all those who worked so hard to make this evening happen. Special thanks especially to our Cavalcade Chairperson, Sara Pratt, and her committee, Carolyn Eldredge and Yuerong Gong. They have been so innovative in making all the necessary adjustments to go forward with this event to provide the opportunities for these students to have this amazing experience.

Cavalcade Dress Rehearsal Feb. 26, 2022

4/11/2022

The Dress Rehearsal for Cavalcade of Rhythm was a huge success. Students arrived at Mesquite High School and were directed where to sit during the performance, where to go to get onstage, and how to get back to their seats. Most importantly, they had time on the stage to run through their amazing pieces to get ready to perform their Music at the Movies!

Cavalcade Rehearsals February 2022

4/11/2022

0 Comments

 
February is always a busy month with Cavalcade of Rhythm group rehearsals, and we were thrilled to be able to gather together this year to practice our fabulous duets. Students attended three rehearsals over the period of three weeks before the performance to learn how to follow the conductor and work together. Amazing progress was made by these committed students. Many thanks to all the teachers and volunteers who helped run and direct the rehearsals, to the parents for getting their children there, and to The Music Store for hosting us. We can't wait for performance day!
