Mr. Stephen LaCroix

It was with great pride that I stood before you and conducted such fine Geneseo students at IHSA Organizational Contest. I do love working with you and love my job because of you. Congratulations on performing at Division 1 levels from all judges in all groups. You sang with such depth of heart that I couldn’t be more pleased! Special thanks must go to Mrs. Green and Miss Edwards for their skills and willingness to accompany you so well, and their gifts of working with you to help you prepare for your success. It was also a joy to see so many parents and friends supporting your competition in Monmouth. I’ve attached the recordings of your contest performances. Enjoy, and BRAVO!
