U-High Musicians and IMEA

On October 13 of this year, U-High musicians auditioned for various district festival groups hosted by the Illinois Music Educators Association (IMEA). We are pleased to announce the following students were selected to participate in upcoming district groups events this month.

Sam Frampton and Andy Zheng will be participating in the jazz ensemble on Saturday, November 14, at West Leyden High School in Franklin Park. Ellyn Butler was chosen for the symphonic band. Henry Bergman, Andrew Sandwick, and Catherine Zhou were selected for orchestra. The band and orchestra festival will be held on November 21, at Lincoln Way West High School, in New Lenox.

Our students will be gathering with student-musicians from throughout the Chicago area, rehearsing for the entire day, and then performing late in the afternoon. It’s quite an honor, and we are all proud of their efforts.
