Ann Felder Ann Felder is in charge of all things "orchestra" at Monroe Public Schools where she has been teaching for the past 20 years. She earned her Bachelor and Master degree in Music from the University of Michigan and has been going non-stop ever since. In addition to teaching, Ann has played viola with the Adrian Symphony for over 20 years and serves as the organist at the Ida campus of St. Gabriel Parish. She has also been on the executive board of the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association for the past 5 years where she is currently serving as Vice President of Solo and Ensemble for Wayne, Washtenaw and Monroe counties and is a state finalist for Orchestra Director of the Year for that organization.

Monroe High School Chamber Strings The Monroe High School Chamber Strings is an ensemble made up of select members from the award-winning Monroe High School Orchestra. These students rehearse after school one day a week to learn a lot of extra music which they share with the community. Last weekend they were heard at the Meijer store and the Christmas in Ida festival. This weekend they played a Victorian Tea at the Sawyer House. They have been providing music in the atrium for the MCCC Band holiday concert for the past few seasons and are always happy to be back.

Mark served twelve years in local and state offices of the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association, including President of District 12. He was named Band Director of the Year for District 12 of MSBOA. He also was named Music Alumnus Guest Conductor of the Year in 1988 for Eastern Michigan University. Mark has been musical director for over 150 musicals including 12 years as a musical director at Croswell Opera House in Adrian, Michigan. He received a nomination for the prestigious Jeff Award in Chicago for Best Musical Direction for the second national tour of Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim. He is currently the musical director of the Dodworth Saxhorn Band, a Civil War-era brass band.
