EHS Choirs Host Middle School Choral Workshop • Posted 11/25/09


On Monday, November 23rd, the EHS choirs hosted 200 6th, 7th and 8th grade singers from Liberty and Lincoln for a day of singing together.  Students spent the morning rehearsing a special women's piece with Mrs. Ritter and a men's piece with Mrs. Marshall and then came together to rehearse a combined piece. 

After a quick break for lunch, students rehearsed again before performing their songs for each other.  The afternoon culminated by a performance by the Chamber Singers and a question and answer session about being in choir in high school.

EHS Hosts All-District Festival • Posted 11/13/09


On Saturday, November 7, the 2009, approximately 700 students from school districts all over Southern Illinois traveled to Edwardsville High School for the 2009 Illinois Music Educators Association (IMEA) All-District Festival. This was the first year an event like this was hosted by Edwardsville High School. The event was a huge success with over 2,000 people attending.  The IMEA sponsors and organizes workshops and festivals in nine geographic districts every Fall for elementary through secondary schools. IMEA is a non-profit association, representing every level of music education in every discipline. With more than 5,000 members, IMEA is one of the largest of the 52 affiliates of MENC: The National Association for Music Education, over 100,000 members strong. IMEA is, by far, the largest Fine Arts education organization in Illinois and among the largest in the Nation.

District 7 students worked diligently throughout September and October preparing for All-District auditions on Columbus Day. A few days after auditions, students received notification if they had been selected for one of the ensembles. Students selected for the All-District Festival comprise the best musicians in Southern Illinois. 28 EHS choir students were selected for All-District.
