IMEA District 7 in Beethoven, Glinka and more

We featured highlights of the Illinois Music Educators Association District 7 (north and northwest Chicago suburbs) Senior Division Honors Festival, recorded at McHenry High School in November. Advanced high school musicians from around the area audition to participate in the day-long clinic and performance, and we featured some highlights of the district band, orchestra and chorus.
