ILMEA District 8 Auditions 2016




This saturday GK had a successful day at Huntley Middle School in DeKalb for the 2016 ILMEA auditions. Students were dressed to impress and ready to sing and play their hearts out for some judges. This year was the first year of all blind auditions for the high school, so it really didn't matter if they were dressed to the nines or like Sully from Monsters Inc. 
Joely ran in the Harvard CC meet where GK Grils placed 2nd.
She then 'ran' over to DeKalb for her audtion!
