IMT Student Chosen For European Touring Honors Band
June 19, 2009
EHOVE Interactive Media Tech Prep* student Cory Herman, South Central, is one of 200 Ohio honor student musicians chosen to tour seven European countries for a 16 day tour. Cory Herman is a member of the South Central high school music program, directed by Andrew Stein. He is the son of Bruce and Susie Herman. Tech Prep is a partnership between EHOVE and BGSU Firelands in which students earn free college credits while finishing high school requirements.
Students were nominated for the 2009 Ohio Ambassadors of Music tour based upon their level of musicianship, leadership, and character, and were selected for participation by invitation. Each nominee received a copy of an ambassador of good will proclamation from Governor Striector for the tour. Moss will conduct the Honor Band, and Dr. Sandra Stegman, Choral Director at Bowling Green State University, will conduct the Honor Choir.
The tour is designed by
Voyageurs International, a Denver-based agency specializing in
European music tours for numerous states throughout the country for
over 35 years. This is the seventh such tour in the state of Ohio
since 1997.
Prior to their departure for Europe on June 24, 2009, student
participants will gather on the campus of Bowling Green State
University for an intensive three day schedule of rehearsals and
orientation sessions.
The Ohio Ambassadors of Music Honor Band and Chorus will share their music with European audiences in seven different countries and in a variety of performance settings.
The tour will include stops in England, France, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria, Italy, and Germany. The Ohio Ambassadors of Music tour is an education program designed for honor music students to perform and share their musical talents, while gaining cultural enrichment abroad.
