The exciting addition of Junior High All-State in Peoria this January brings about some schedule changes for our All-State student programs at all levels. 

Please take some time to review the ensemble schedules - we know that until All-State results are released in early December, you won’t be able to make concrete plans for your time in Peoria, but we need to bring your attention to these changes sooner rather than later!

Join us for the 2026 ILMEA Large Group Festival series! We invite all participating middle and high school band, orchestra, instrumental jazz and chorus programs to join us in this unique event designed to bring our musical community together for world-class performance venues, invaluable feedback from renowned adjudicators, inspiring performances, and the opportunity to support fellow educators and students from around the state!

A look back on the fantastic clinics, performances, and events at the 2025 Illinois Music Education Conference. More photos will be added so stay tuned!
