Several UHS music students were selected to attend the Illinois Music Education Association’s (ILMEA) All-State Conference. Because the students placed so highly at the district level, they advanced to All-State, which was held in Peoria on January 26-28. One student composer was also selected to participate in the Composition Track at the All-State Conference.
Based on their audition at the District Level, students were placed into one of the following groups: the ILMEA All-State Band, Choir, or Orchestra or the ILMEA All-State Honors Band, Choir or Orchestra. The following is a list of these students and their placements:
- Jack Minor | Trombone | All-State Band
- Genevieve Owens | Bassoon | All-State Band
- Jaiden Burgess-Davis | Tenor II | All-State Choir
- Theodore Nevins | Tuba | All-State Orchestra
- Elianna Lee | Percussion | All-State Honors Band
- Ian Peters-Contra | Alto Clarinet | All-State Honors Band
- V Bechtel Alto II | All-State Honors Choir
- Ioelle Lee | Oboe | All-State Honors Orchestra
