portrait
In the Hilde Big Band, students, former students, parents and teachers made music together under the direction of business and geography teacher Tobias Berlinger. The style was uncomplicated light music from the genres of musicals , evergreens , rock , Dixie , spiritual and film music . The members rehearsed annually on a rehearsal phase lasting several days outside the high school. The interpersonal aspect was always in the foreground and made it possible to build bridges between young and older musicians. In addition, there was the Hilde Big Band, in which students from grades 5–7 played under the direction of music teacher Hans Fehre.
