PHS Choir Alumni:
The Choir Alumni contributed over $5000 towards sponsoring the
Choral Shell in honor of Nancianne Parella and Thomas Hilbish,
collected at a reunion commemorating over 60 years of choral
music at PHS. Nancianne Parella was the beloved associate
director of the choir from 1964-1992, partnering with William
Trego, the choir’s longest serving director. Thomas Hilbish
served as choir director prior to Mr. Trego, from 1948 - 1963,
and subsequently directed the choirs of the University of
Michigan. The Choir gift was supplemented by an equal gift
from an individual donor who desired to recognize Ms. Parella.
Although Ms. Parella was unable
to attend the dedication due to performing at the Spoleto
Festival/USA that weekend, Mr. Trego was on hand to witness the
dedication, as well as the naming of the auditorium in his and
Anthony Biancosino’s (long time PHS studio Band director)
honor.
The Class of 1971 also
contributed $1700 to the Choral Shell sponsorship, which was
raised at their 35th reunion. Thank you, PHS Class of
1971!
You can still add your group’s
name to this plaque with a gift of $1500 or more! Contact PEF if
you are interested in helping honor two remarkable long time
music teachers at PHS.
PHS Studio Jazz Band Alumni:
The PHS jazz band alumni
celebrating their
30th anniversary in June 2007. Featured at the event was a stellar concert by the 2007 PHS Studio Band,
which recently
won first place at the prestigious Berklee College of Music High
School Jazz Festival. At the event, the PHS
 Jazz
Band Parents Association and Band alumni honored their long time
directors with Seats in their honor. A retrospective slide show
took many of the participants back to their high school times.
