 DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC

2012 IMEA DISTRICT FESTIVAL AUDITION RESULTS

On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 103 student musicians from South High School in Downers Grove auditioned at Carl Sandburg High School to participate in the 2012 Illinois Music Educators’ Association District 1 Festivals.  The music faculty, private teachers and sender school music teachers associated with South High School are proud to congratulate the 51 students in band, choir, jazz band, and orchestra who have been selected through highly competitive audition to participate in the 2012 IMEA District Festivals.

Student musicians enrolled in music ensembles in the DGS Fine Arts department continue to annually demonstrate remarkable success at both the District and All-State level. “The total number of participating students continues to be consistently high on an annual basis.” said DGS Fine Arts Chairman Glenn Williams. “We’ve averaged over 50 participants in the IMEA District ensembles for over a decade.”  “Additionally, DGS is equally well represented in all areas of ensemble performance – band, choir, orchestra and jazz band - in this process.”

For more information about attending these district festivals, please contact Fine Arts Department Chairperson Glenn Williams at gwilliams@csd99.org or at 630.795.8681.
