Downers Grove Grade School District 58 congratulates the 37 fifth and sixth graders selected to participate in the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA)’s All-State Elementary Chorus on Saturday, Feb. 1 in Peoria, Illinois. This annual event brings some of the state’s most talented elementary choral students together.
The students will rehearse in the morning with their fellow peer vocalists and nationally-renowned conductors. The entire ensemble will perform a concert at 12:15 p.m. at the Peoria Civic Center. Tickets cost $5.
District 58 students were selected by their participation in the Downers Grove Children’s Choir and with a music teacher recommendation. District 58 music teachers directed extra choir practices for the ILMEA students during the weeks leading up to the performance.
