Patriot Guitar Ensemble Concert On Tap For Tomorrow Night
It may be short…but it’s likely to be very sweet, especially the ending!
The Patriot Guitar Ensemble Concert will run about 45 minutes tomorrow night but it will be jam-packed with a variety of music of “full ensemble performances, solo performances, and a crowd-pleasing finale.”
The show, starting at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the West Auditorium, is the first of the school year for the Patriot Guitar Ensemble, the highest level guitar ensemble at Stevenson. The String Parents Association will be raising funds for Lesson Sponsorship Support by selling flowers and concessions.
A few weeks after this show, which can also be viewed via Vimeo, the Patriot Guitar Ensemble will be performing at Roosevelt University and then again at its Winter Concert at Stevenson.

Athletic Results
Boys Soccer: Stevenson edged Fremd in its sectional semifinal at Buffalo Grove, 2-1 in overtime. The Patriots are now 19-0-3 on the season and will play Waukegan in the sectional championship match at 5 p.m. on Friday in Buffalo Grove’s football stadium. Against Fremd, Stevenson started the game on the front foot and Alex Xie scored a fantastic goal in the fifth minute after he juked and dribbled past multiple defenders. He was assisted by Nazar Mormul. Goalie Aidan Morris made an excellent save to keep Stevenson in the lead. The game remained 1-0 at the half. Fremd came out of the half with aggression and was able to level the game in the 60th minute. The game remained tied at 1-1 at the end of regulation. In the 95th minute, Stevenson got a free kick at the halfway line and Steven Nyc delivered an excellent free-kick into the penalty area which found Bhargav Devabhaktuni, who flicked the ball over to Jack Bacher who again flicked the ball into the path of Filip Janda. Janda thenscored the winning goal. For more photos from last night’s game, please check out Stevenson’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages later today!
Girls Volleyball: The Patriots closed their season with a 24-12 record after losing a hotly contested match in the Glenbrook South regional semifinals to Buffalo Grove, 25-14, 19-25, 20-25.

Brynn Smith had 15 kills while Mija Jegers had 7 kills and 3 aces. Rightside Ava Wysocki had 6 kills and Allison Katibnikov had 3 kills. Finishing out her setting career, Abby Minin had 16 assists, just shy of 1,000 for her career.
