On April 13, three Elwood-John H. Glenn High School band students
performed in the 14th annual LIU Post Band Festival at the Tilles Center
for Performing Arts.
Sophomore Hannah Kleinman and juniors Ivan Andrade and Abiola Familusi
were nominated by their teachers as exceptional musicians, and once
accepted into the program, rehearsed intensively for the upcoming
performance in the Tilles Festival band, an ensemble composed of the LIU
Post Wind Symphony and exceptional high school musicians from across
the New York metropolitan area.
The Festival Band was directed and conducted by LIU Post Director of
Wind Studies Dr. James McRoy, and 2018 Composer-in-Residence Mark
Camphouse. The Festival Band performed four pieces, two of which were of
Mr. Camphouse’s own composition.
