SYCAMORE – Every high school has talented people who are celebrated with awards, trophies or scholarships, but what happens to them after graduation?

Sycamore High School has a long-standing tradition of excellence in music. Many of these alumni continued to pursue their talents after graduation. Sycamore High School and the Sycamore History Museum will celebrate a wide variety of musical accomplishments on Friday, Feb. 8 as part of the Pride of Sycamore High.

The evening will start with light refreshments. In the auditorium, alumni will share their stories about how Sycamore High School influenced their musical careers. Featured guests include trombonist Kirk Lundbeck; violinist Ann Montzka-Smelser, a member of Northern Illinois University’s music faculty; Drayton Eggleson, the music teacher at South Prairie Elementary; and cellist Hellen Weberpal. Dan Andree will send a video of a performance by his band, HenHouse Prowlers.
