2019 ILMEA District Audition Results

The music faculty, private teachers and sender school music teachers associated with South High School are proud to recognize the students that earned placements in the 2019 ILMEA District 1 Festivals in band, choir, jazz band, vocal jazz and orchestra.  On Tuesday, October 1,  student musicians from South High School in Downers Grove auditioned at Carl Sandburg High School to participate in the 2019  Illinois Music Education Association District 1 Festivals.  These students have been selected through a highly competitive audition to participate in the 2019 ILMEA 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 experiences these students have at District Festival ignite their passion for music, and in turn, they return to South High School and ignite the passion of those around them." said DGS Fine Arts Chairman Glenn Williams. "Additionally, DGS is equally well represented in all areas of ensemble performance – band, choir, orchestra,  vocal jazz and jazz band - in this process."

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