IMEA All-State Conference


Congratulations to Evan Stalter (12), Dustin Smith (12), and Kelsey Henry (11) who participated in the annual IMEA All-State Conference. After rigorous preparation and auditions, the three were selected to attend the three day festival in Peoria from Thursday-Saturday January 27-29. Evan represented EHS in the All-State band playing euphonium. Dustin sang Tenor 2 in the All-State Chorus and Kelsey had the opportunity to be an Alto 2 in the Honors Chorus. In addition to singing and playing under the direction of extremely talented and well-known directors, composers, and arrangers, the three EHS students each participated in the All-State Conference Concerts on Saturday in the Peoria Civic Center Arena. Band director Todd Stalter and choir director Kate O'Donnell were able to attend many helpful workshops and clinics while in Peoria, and are very proud of their students' accomplishments!
