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.
