Summer ILMEA Practice with the Band Teachers!
It is highly recommended that students take private lessons if they are going to audition for ILMEA. We also recommend participating in our Summer ILMEA Practice. Students will post videos each month to our
ILMEA Flipgrid  See below for the Flipgrid Due Dates. Mr. Rohde and Mrs. J will watch the videos and give feedback to help students improve. This will make sure they are prepared for the audition in September. 

We will also host summer zoom sessions by request. Email if you are interested rrohde@district158.org or pjorgensen@district158.org

Flipgrid Due Dates
June 18th (play just the first few lines)
July 14th (play at least half of the music)
August 6th (play through all the music)
