I have the pleasure of reporting to you the results of the IMEA All-State selections for this year.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 Approximately 1000 of the finest band, choir, and orchestra students are individually selected by audition, to represent each of nine districts in Illinois. This year Geneseo has 27 outstanding students that have been selected as All-State musicians.<\/p>\n
The IMEA does not observe any comparisons between schools, of the number of students who have been selected. However, it is notable to our community that Geneseo High School (866 students enrolled), for the second consecutive year, has the greatest number of All-State musicians, out of all of the high schools in the State of Illinois. The next highest are Quincy High School (1920 students enrolled in three grades) with 25 participants, and Naperville Nequa Valley (4072 students enrolled) with 23 participants.<\/p>\n
There will be no award to recognize this achievement.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 But there is a reward for us at the Geneseo Schools.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 It is important to note that these students qualified for this honor individually, by preparing and auditioning by themselves like every other music student in the State.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 Their achievement is a testament to their individual hard work.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 The reward is, knowing that we, including all of the recipients of this email, have provided them with a solid fundamental music education, throughout elementary school, middle school and high school.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 This distinction is something that we should all enjoy and be proud of.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 It is reassuring that our curriculum, instruction and assessment systems are working successfully for our students.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 Our school board and administration have allowed us to refine our system over the years, and have been protective of our funding, scheduling, and staffing.\u00ac\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u2020 Congratulations to our entire school community for this significant achievement!<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nSteve Scherer and Steve LaCroix<\/p>\n
