Two students from Princeton High School have been selected to participate in the Illinois Music Education Association All-State Music Festival, the highest honor for student musicians in Illinois.
Levi Boggs, a senior, was selected to play tuba with the All-State Honors Orchestra, the upper of two all-state groups. Boggs previously was selected for All-State performances his sophomore year and received a “Best of Day” award for his tuba solo at the IHSA Solo and Ensemble tournament last spring.
Scarlett Nichols, a junior, was selected to play flute with the All-State Band. Nichols also performs with the Peoria Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Both students were selected through an audition process in October and participated in a regional festival at Augustana in November. They will travel to Peoria to rehearse in ensembles with top musicians from around the state and perform at the Peoria Civic Center at 7 p.m. Jan. 31.
