Congratulations to the student musicians from Maine West High School who earned placement, by competitive audition, into the 2024 Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA) All-District Band, Choir, Orchestra and Jazz Band. These musicians submitted audition videos to the ILMEA, which were reviewed and scored by a panel of professional musicians.

Two Maine West Musicians Earn All-State Honors! #207Now #Excellence #musiceducation #IMEC2022 @ILMEA @mainewestchoir

We recently learned that two Maine West musicians, Dulf Vincent Genis and Ali Krieger, have earned All-State Honors. These two music students will be representing Maine West at the state-level event called the Illinois Music Education Conference, which will be held in the Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois January 26th-29th, 2022. 

Dulf will perform as a baritone singer with the All-State Honors Chorus, the highest level choral ensemble in the state of Illinois. Ali will be taking part in the Future Music Educators Seminar. 

Earning a placement in the IMEC All-State conference distinguishes these two students as two of the best music students in the state of Illinois, and is a testament to years of hard work and dedication as musicians. The entire Maine West community is incredibly proud of these two students!
