MEET MR. DE GALA!

Mr. de Gala is a former member of the EHS Performing Arts Department where he was the handbell choir director for eight years, briefly the co-teacher of orchestras and mariachi, and the self-proclaimed “Theatre Uncle” of Thespian Troupe #4999. He has had plenty of experience playing in pit orchestras for EHS and MSU Denver, where he graduated, and recently directed music for the EHS Harlequin Players’ production of “Romeo and Juliet.” Above all else, he is an educator and is beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity to work with the students of STEAM Camp! When not teaching, Mr. de Gala practices on his fleet of 15 ukuleles and is mildly afraid of frisbees.
