District 99 To Live-Stream Senior Fine Arts Performances

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Schools may be closed for the remainder of the year due to the new coronavirus shutdown, but that isn't stopping Community High School District 99 from spotlighting its senior fine arts students with virtual performances. The Downers Grove North High School Wind Ensemble and the District 99 will have their solo performances live-streamed April 30 and May 5.

The April 30 presentation will feature Miles Teague and Emma Krause performing at 7 p.m. On May 5, Rebecca Edmundson, Kristen Karam, Therese Malinowski, Braden Moore, Catherine Ramsey, and Emily Wootton will perform at 1 p.m.

To tune in to the seniors' solo performances, you can visit the DGN Fine Arts YouTube Channel. After the live performances air, they will still be available to view on the YouTube channel, if you're not able to tune in.

District 99 officials said information on how to tune in for the performances will also be shared with local hospitals and nursing homes.

District 99 Orchestra Director Jennifer Mullin said in a news release, "Streaming our seniors' final performances will give the students a sense of performing in front of a live audience, as they would have if school was in session. The students are very excited to know that their senior solo will be shared with patients and residents at local hospitals and nursing homes."
