On the evening of Friday, April 12, 2024 the THS Music Department sent several
ensembles to participate in the Illinois High School Association State Music Contest.
The THS Concert Choir, Concert Band, and Jazz Band each prepared a set of very
challenging music to perform in front of a three judge panel. Each of those groups
earned the highest level rating of Superior, or Division I. These student musicians
did a great job, and represented our school and community extremely well.
Congratulations!
