I would like to share some photos and thoughts with you from the 2016 Durfee Festival of the Arts. What an amazing night it was- parents and family members visited the exhibit to view their student's work and chat with teachers. The student work displayed a combination of the depth of thought an artist must endure to produce work that is expressive- a narrative of their thoughts and feelings, as well as the more whimsical and playful side of art. The work was driven by lessons that asked students to think, problem solve, create from an idea and make their thoughts visual through sculpture, drawing, painting, photography and other mixed media. Kudos to all who were involved in this event- a true success!
On Thursday, the DHS Spring Concert was a huge success! Hundreds of family and community members were in attendance to see the Band, Chorus and Orchestra perform the pieces that they have been working diligently on. What an amazing array of success and talent these students have.. These students showed us what the output of hard work and constant growth under the tutelage of the DHS Music Staff sounds like, and all of them deserve a standing ovation. Ms. Betty Yokell, former Director of Fine and Performing Arts was in attendance and commended our students for not only sounding magnificent, but complimented the teachers and students for attempting a repertoire of such difficulty. Amazing work!
