DELAWARE VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT — On Wednesday, May 2, the Delaware Valley (DV) Music Department Booster Club awarded its first ever summer scholarships. To be eligible, one had to be a DV student in any grade, in any school, who participates in music and attended a music-related camp or program over the previous summer. Even current seniors were eligible. Four scholarships of up to $500 were awarded.

This year’s recipients were Theodore Russell Bookey, 11th-grader, who took his trumpet to Philadelphia to attend a two-week Creative Jazz Institute at The Kimmel Center and the University of the Arts (second from left); John Michael Zirpoli, eighth-grader, who played both drums and keyboard at the School of Rock Chatham Legends of Rock Performance Camp (third from left); Josephine Marie Allen, senior, who traveled all the way to Alaska to play her viola with the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra (fourth from left); and Jennifer Yulfo, ninth-grader, who attended Marywood University’s Camp Crescendo on tuba and Camp Crescendo Jazz on trombone (fifth from left).
