Bon Voyage Downers Grove............

 Brayer Teague leads the Honor Band in Sam Hazo's ...Go!
 Northern Illinois University Professor Emeritus and friend of the D99 Honor Band Ron Modell addresses the audience on the merits of the ongoing cultural and musical exchange.
 The saxophone section of the D99 Honors Jazz Ensemble brings it home.
The D99 Honors Jazz Ensemble closes the evening with Joe Garland's Leap Frog.


Both the Honors Band and Jazz Ensemble sounded fabulous tonight during the Bon Voyage/Send-off concert.  The students have mastered a significant amount of repertoire in a short amount of time.  Both groups received heartfelt standing ovations tonight.  Well done everyone - let the final packing begin!
