On Jan. 24, Willowbrook hosted a State send-off celebration for the five students who were named as All-State Musicians by the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA) earlier this school year.

As All-State Musicians, they performed during the Illinois Music Education Conference, which took place from Jan. 24 to 27 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) and junior Renee Maggard (Orchestra).

Those students auditioned in October and were selected as All-District Musicians. They then received state-level recognition. For more information about the conference, go to https://www.ilmea.org/imec/2018imec.
