Congratulations to Miriam Parri and the inaugural ILMEA All-State Junior High Band for an exceptional performance on Friday evening! The band performed four selections of challenging music as a part of the Junior Division All-State Concert at IMEC in Peoria, Illinois.

The band rehearsed for 10 hours on Thursday and Friday to prepare for the evening performance. The ensemble was comprised of 7th and 8th grade students from across the state. Miriam was one of several to represent District 5 (East-Central Illinois). This concert was the culmination of talent, hard work, and excellence in musicianship.

Congrats!

Our 7th grade team battled hard but fell to a very good Vandalia team in the Regional Championship this evening. This group put together a special season and has a lot to be proud of, finishing with an 18–4 record, a Conference Regular Season Championship, and a Conference Tournament Championship! Their work ethic and commitment were on display all year. The future is bright, and we look forward to watching them continue their journey in 8th grade. We are so proud of you! Go Redskins! #OneTribe
