Eighteen student musicians from Downers Grove North High School have earned All-State Honors
in the 2013-2014 Illinois Music Education Association All-State Band, Choir, Orchestra, Jazz Band, and ‘Future Music Educators Symposium’. (Results for the All State Music Composition Contest have been delayed until late December, and will be announced at that time.)
“We are really thrilled for these students and their families,” said
Brayer Teague, Fine Arts Department Chair at North High. “Many people helped these students achieve
this success, beginning with their very first elementary school music teachers
and extending to their private-lessons teachers today. North High is very proud to have these
incredible musicians representing District 99 at the All-State level.”
The All-State Band, Choir,
Orchestra and Jazz Band will convene for a series of rehearsals in Peoria, IL,
January 22-25, 2014. Their concerts will
be held at the Peoria Civic Center on the evening of January 24, and the
afternoon of January 25, 2014. Composers will be honored at an awards ceremony
on the morning of January 25, 2014.
