Band members played in the lllio Festival and many entered solo and ensemble contests. Choir proved to be a lot of work but fun for those in it. Songs were sung for the school, library, and tree dedications, besides two major concerts. Choir mem- bers also sang at Illio Festival and some entered solo and ensemble contest. Fund- raising brought in money, which helped give a dance and a picnic. Choir Band Ensembles The 13 member girlis ensemble, chosen from choir, sang for many local groups in Peoria.
