Willowbrook senior selected to perform National Anthem during state tournament

Willowbrook senior Emma Cismesia (pictured above) has been selected to perform the National Anthem during the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Girls Basketball State Tournament.

Cismesia will sing on March 7 in Redbird Arena at Illinois State University. She will perform about 12:30 and 7 p.m. (times are tentative and depend on the games).

Cismesia was selected for this honor through an audition process in cooperation with the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA). Students from IHSA-member schools had the opportunity to audition during the Illinois Music Education Conference, which took place from Jan. 27 to 30 in Peoria.
