Sixteen

“We are truly 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, and we are excited
they will now perform alongside the very best musicians in the State of
Illinois.”
