District 99 students earned 83 placements to the 2017 Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA) District Band, Choir, Orchestra, Jazz Band and Vocal Jazz Ensemble. Students who earned top placing scores through competitive audition were selected to participate in the District Music Festivals, which will be held during November.
“Selection to the ILMEA All-District ensembles is a distinct and significant honor for a high school musician,” said Fine Arts Department Chairperson Brayer Teague. “Our faculty is excited for these students who will now have the opportunity to collaborate with the most outstanding musicians in our region.”
"The total number of participating students continues to be consistently high on an annual basis," said DGS Fine Arts Chairman Glenn Williams. "Additionally, District 99 is equally well represented in all areas of ensemble performance – band, choir, orchestra, and jazz - in this process."
Performances will be held during November. To see the full schedule of performances, please visit:
