This event is open to all high school and middle school musicians in District 5 auditioning for ILMEA District 5 Band, Chorus, Instrumental Jazz or Strings. Students interested in auditioning for both Band and Instrumental Jazz have the opportunity to register for both areas. Please consider having your students attend. We provide this free of charge.
