Musical Mayhem
MUSICAL MAYHEM...Right around the corner...
We have something new for Musical Mayhem this year and it's time to start practicing. We have added an event to potentially replace the dance, or transform it rather, into a Rock Concert! It is HADLEY GARAGE JAM BAND! Only Hadley students are eligible to participate. We look forward to this fun addition.
We are still looking for a few good volunteers! Just a few hours is all it takes on Friday night.
PS. Coming Soon -- Friday, February 19th!
All profits from this fun night of fundraising help supplement the District 41 music programs and directly benefit our children!

Welcome to MEF!
The Music Education Foundation (MEF) was founded in the mid-1980s to support and enhance all District 41 music programs including chorus, orchestra, band and school musicals. MEF has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of these outstanding programs and has assisted our distinguished staff in helping our children make music a lifelong love.
Meetings are held monthly at Hadley Junior High, and are open to the D-41 public. Interested residents are welcome to attend these meetings along with MEF Board members and the district band, orchestra and choral music teachers.

Orchestra 2008-2009
The 2008-09 Hadley Strings Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Georgia Alemis
Congratulations to the Hadley String Orchestra for an outstanding performance at the Illinois Grade School Music Association Organization State Contest on Saturday, April 25, 2009 at Franklin Middle School in Wheaton, Illinois. The judges were very impressed with the advanced literature and the performance sound of our Hadley String Orchestra. The Hadley String Orchestra, under the direction of Ms. Georgia Alemis, was the only orchestra selected in the state of Illinois to receive the Honor Status for 2009. The Honor Status is the highest honor a junior high orchestra could receive in the state. Congratulations Hadley String Orchestra members!
IGSMA conducts an annual competition in which school orchestras receive a division rating based on comments from three judges. The judges place a score for each performance and in addition, the three judges can choose an outstanding performing ensemble and grant an orchestra the "honor" status. Up to three ensembles can be chosen from each of the state contest sites.
Since 2003 the Hadley orchestra has been awarded the Honor status every year for their outstanding performances.
