Glenbrook South High School Congratulates All-State Musicians

Twelve Glenbrook South music students performed at the Illinois Music Educators Association State Festival held January 29-31, in Peoria. Music students selected to perform at this All-State festival are among the best musicians in Illinois. The students initially had to qualify through the IMEA District VII Festival. From there, the qualifying students were named to the All-State Festival. At the All-State Festival, the students attended workshops and clinics, and rehearsed with their fellow All-State winners. Culminating the experience, they presented All-State and Honors Concerts in band, chorus and orchestra.

The GBS All-State musicians were Josh Propp, Ryan Kirby, Joseph Lewis, Robby Shellard, choral music; Kevin Golden, band; Corinne Chin, Neil Carson, Eric Mrugala and Dan Carson, orchestra; and Kristin Olsen, Turner Topping and John Splithoff in vocal jazz ensemble.
