The evening will be hosted by 1999 UCHS Hall of Fame inductee Wayne J. du Maine, a 1983 graduate who is currently the principal chair with both the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the American Composers Orchestra and the trumpet program director for brass studies at New York University Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. A nationally recognized trumpet player who once performed with Prince at his Paisley Park, Minnesota, home, du Maine returned home as a featured soloist with the 2019 U. City Summer Band on June 25 at Heman Park.

This year’s upcoming Hall of Fame inductees will join a long and prestigious list of alumni to have graduated from University City High School. They include playwright Thomas “Tennessee” Lanier Williams; internationally renowned rap artist Cornell “Nelly” Haynes, and Marlon West, the lead effects animator for beloved Disney films, and many more.

Their photos will join more than 100 others hanging in the main hallway of University City High School.
The UCHS Hall of Fame was established in 1999 for the purpose of honoring graduates from each era of the school’s history. These are individuals who have brought honor to the school through notable contributions to their fields and the world. Although the induction event occurs every other year, each January the District publicly calls for nominations.
