Three Parsippany students were recognized as outstanding Band members

PARSIPPANY — Three Parsippany students were recognized as outstanding Band members by the Mayo Performing Arts Center for their achievements on the stage.

Trevor Govelitz, Marvin LiGrade, and Mitchell Ryzuk were recognized for their talents. Students are nominated by teachers, and are chosen by MPAC’s theater education department based on “commitment to and excellence in the performing arts.” All students honored are invited to preform at a year-end recital in June.

Trevor Govelitz, a seventh grader at Brooklawn Middle School was nominated by Joseph Stella:

Trevor is a trumpet player in our 7th grade band and also plays trumpet in our jazz band and pit orchestra. He is a leader in his section and is always willing to play solos when asked. In addition to being a fine musician, he is a very friendly and respectful student.

Marvin LiGrade, a seventh grader at Brooklawn Middle School, was also nominated by Joseph Stella:

Marvin is a percussionist in our 7th grade band and was selected by audition to play the drum set part in this year’s pit orchestra for our school musical. He is always receptive to being challenged in his lessons with increasingly more difficult music. He has also done well with learning the many types of percussion instruments including the mallet instruments.

Mitchell Ryzuk, a senior at Parsippany High School was nominated by Gregory Dalakian:

Mitchell has been involved in every single facet of the PHS music program since his freshman year. He has served as the Snare Captain of the Drumline the last two years and the Drumline Section Leader this past year. He has also been our Jazz Band drummer all through high school and has played drum set for every high school and middle school pit orchestra since he was in middle school. Mitchell is a talented musician who always leads by example and gladly gives of his time and efforts in order for our band program to succeed. He is truly an outstanding band member with a true passion for music.

The 2016-2017 Music Student of the Month program is sponsored by The Provident Bank Foundation.
