Five Willowbrook students have been named as All-State Musicians by the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA).

As All-State Musicians, they will perform during the Illinois Music Education Conference, which will take place from Jan. 24 to 27, 2018, at Peoria Civic Center. Those students are senior Julia Cicero (Honors Chorus), senior Genevieve Corkery (Honors Chorus), sophomore Emma Cismesia (All-State Chorus), senior Kaylynn Kattiyaman (Orchestra, level to be determined) and junior Renee Maggard (Orchestra, level to be determined).

Those students auditioned in October and were selected as All-District Musicians. They have now received state-level recognition and will re-audition at the conference for placement within their respective ensemble.
