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 2020 ILMEA District 1 Festivals in band, choir, jazz band, vocal jazz and orchestra. Due to COVID-19, in-person auditions were suspended in 2020. The top placing scores were selected for participation in the District
Music Festival, which will be held (virtually) on November 21, 2020.
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."
Please join us in congratulating these student musicians:
