Congratulations to the student musicians from Downers Grove North High School who earned placement, by competitive audition, into the 2022 Illinois Music Education Association All-District Band, Choir, Orchestra, Jazz Band and Jazz Choir. Participating musicians submitted audition videos to the ILMEA, and all videos were adjudicated by a panel of professional musicians. The top placing scores were selected for participation in the District Music Festivals, which will be held in November.
“Selection to the ILMEA All-District ensembles is a distinct and significant honor for a high school musician,” said Brayer Teague, Fine Arts Department Chairperson. “Our faculty is excited for these students who will represent our school as the most outstanding musicians in the region.”
The music faculty, private teachers, and sender school music teachers associated with North High School are proud to congratulate the following students who have earned ILMEA All-District Honors:
