The DGS auditorium resonated with amazingly professsional sounds this evening as the Lakeview Junior High School Wind Ensemble and the Downers Grove South High School Madrigal Singers shared the stage in preparation for their upcoming performances at the Illinois Music Educators' Assocation State convention. The level of poise and performance from both ensembles foreshadows nothing but stunning performances at the coming convention.

The Lakeview Junior HS Wind Ensemble, directed by Tom Tedeschi and Brian Ohlsen, will perform on Saturday, January 29 at 9:30 AM at the Peoria Civic Center.

"We are so proud of all of these students for their preparation, and, proud of their directors for taking this professional risk to pursue a performance of this nature for the students."
