Heppner High sopho- mores Trevor Antonucci and Leo Waite and junior Reiah Waite will be among 400 student musicians who attend three days of re- hearsals and lessons May 25-27 at Pacific University. Leo Waite will play the trumpet, while Trevor An- tonucci will sing first bass and Reiah Waite will sing first alto. This is Reiah’s second time to the festival; Trevor and Leo will be at- tending for the first time. The students will perform a grand finale concert on Saturday, May 27, at 3 p.m. at the Stoller Center. The Music in May Fes- tival is celebrating its 69 th anniversary as the only college-sponsored high school music festival in the Northwest. Student musi- cians from communities throughout Oregon, Wash- ington, Idaho and Cali- fornia are participating in the annual event. Students stay in residence halls with school chaperones for the three-day festival and con- clude the weekend with a concert featuring orchestra, choir and band. Music in May was started in 1948 by former Pacific University music education professor Rich- ard Greenfield to assist high school string instru- mentalists. High school band, choir and orchestra students are selected to participate based on their school music ensemble director’s recommendation and the instrumentation needs of the Music in May ensembles. Three distinguished guest conductors have se- lected challenging litera- ture for their ensembles to perform in the finale concert. Clark Potter, Pro- fessor of Conducting from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln will conduct the orchestra. Joey Martin, Director of Choral Activi- ties, Texas State University, San Marcos will serve as the conductor of the choir. Conducting the band will be Charles Menghini, Presi- dent, Vandercook College of Music, Chicago. Director of Music in May Michael Burch-Pesses will conduct the combined ensembles in “America the Beautiful” to conclude the festival. Twenty-two Pacific University students will also serve as mentors to the high school students during the festival. Admission to the grand finale concert is $8 for adults and $6 for students and senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance by contacting the Music in May office at 503-352-2198. HCC announces grant progress for façade work Bryan Fowler at the tennis sub-district tournament. -Contrib- uted photo Erik Jones and Cody Dunn, Gomez, Umatilla. both of Helix, and Douglas Chamber lunch The chamber will re- ceive a final report from the Heppner High students who have been working with Rita Van Schoiack of Blue Mountain Investment Man- agement at the next lunch meeting of the Heppner Chamber of Commerce Thursday, May 18, at noon in Heppner City Hall. Cost of lunch is $10; Heppner Market Fresh will cater. Please RSVP at 541-676- 5536 to guarantee a lunch. Hardman Community Center reports that approv- al for a Diamonds in the Rough grant for façade work looks promising but still needs HCC Board ap- proval. HCC secretary Claudia Smythe reports that the grant organization requires the facade to be designed with the original tall doors and double-decker win- dows. The current plans for door designs have been ap- proved by the state, which prefers that the Hardman center strengthen the exist- ing window frames with metal rather than going to larger wood frames. Don Ward says he may be able to build the doors— he would do a prototype first—but suggested HCC budget for store-bought just in case. HCC mem- bers found two commer- cial sources for custom nine-foot doors, and the windows will be 1/8-inch thick for additional strength to complement the metal reinforcing. The grant requires 50 percent matching in funds or in-kind donations, and after running some num- bers, the center reports that they are “a little more than good” due to donated con- tractor and volunteer labor and the financial commit- ment of members. Scott Smythe will act as Contractor of Record and donate up to 40 hours of his time; other contractors do- nating time are Dave Piper and Jerry Gentry, while HCC’s main volunteers will be Jim Kirkpatrick and Don Ward. Mark Rietmann and Phil Carlson will also donate time if their spring 2018 schedules allow it. HCC reports the need for a couple of backup vol- unteers in case one of the others can’t fulfill their commitment. Weather per- mitting, work is planned for the first week of April 2018. However, these plans still need HCC Board ap- proval, so members can contact the board to voice their opinions. Board mem- bers include Sam Martin Sr., Dick Paris, Bob Stevens and Dan VanSchoiack, or contact Smythe at hcc@ hughes.net or 541-676- 9718. Finally, Smythe says this project will only use funds that have been speci- fied as matching for 2018 and that 2017 projects are fully funded.
