Hononegah Community High School All State music students spent three days with some of the best

The Hononegah Community High School All State music students spent three days practicing and rehearsing with hundreds of the top musicians from around the state. 

The experience culminated in an incredible performance on Friday night, January 27 for Casey Bohn and Wolfgang Vergara in the Peoria Civic Center Auditorium in front of well over 1,500 fellow students, music educators and parents. Casey performed with the ILMEA All-State Vocal Jazz Ensemble and Wolfgang Vergara played piano with the Honors Jazz Band.
