In advance of the festivals, students will receive music so they can practice. At the District IX Festival, they will rehearse all day under a top college conductor before performing with other students from across the area as part of the District IX choir, band or orchestra.

Later this fall, the students will learn if they have qualified to perform at the ILMEA All-State Conference held in Peoria in January.
