Heppner students to attend
Music in May
FOREST GROVE,
OR—Three Heppner stu-
dents will be traveling to
Forest Grove later this
month to participate in
the annual Music in May
Festival.
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.

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.
