So for those of you who don’t know, the IMEA All-State Conference is just around the corner. Students audition in early October to place in the local district festival, and from those auditions, a few students are chosen to be sent to the All-State Conference. So basically, All-State musicians/vocalists are some of the best in the state.The conference is held in Peoria each year towards the end of January and it lasts from the chosen Thursday to the following Saturday. Upon arrival, students audition again, this time for placement in either the All-State band/orchestra/chorus or the Honors band/orchestra/chorus. After seating, rehearsals begin that night and last until Saturday morning. The concerts then take place Saturday afternoon. All of this may sound like a lot, but yeah, it actually is - long nights, aching arms and backs, and bad hotel rooms... but I digress. Anyways, congrats to all who made it to District and All-State!
