The conference took place from Jan. 23 to 26 at Peoria Civic Center, and Corey was selected to direct “America the Beautiful” in recognition of his service to the ILMEA Board of Directors. He will step down from the Board after this year and has served as a member since 2005, including as President from 2015 to 2017. The All-State Concert consisted of a band, an orchestra and a choir with more than 600 student-musicians from throughout Illinois.
