DGN Musicians at the 2020 IMEC All-State

Congratulations to the student musicians who participated in the 2020 Illinois Music Education Conference as All-State Musicians. During a three-day trip to Peoria, IL, students worked with inspirational conductors and teachers to prepare and present a concert of challenging repertoire. With two days of limited rehearsal time, each ensemble presented a stunning performance of challenging music to a capacity crowd at the Arena in the Peoria Civic Center. 

Our students and staff extend a heartfelt "thank you" to the staff and volunteers of ILMEA who contributed to creating this experience for our student musicians.
