Plainfield Students Headed to State Music Fest

Thirty-seven District 202 high school students will take part in the Illinois Music Educators Association (ILMEA) District IX Festivals for jazz, choir, band and orchestra.

Following a competitive audition process, the students were selected to perform in the District IX Senior Jazz Festival on Nov. 16, at Naperville Central High School; and/or the Senior Band/Chorus/Orchestra Festival on Nov. 23, at Aurora East High School.

The students will receive music in advance to practice on their own. At the District IX Festival they will rehearse all day under a top college conductor before performing with other students from across the area as part of the District IX Choir, Band or Orchestra.

Later this fall the students will learn if they have qualified to perform at the ILMEA All-State Conference held in Peoria in January.
