Waukegan, IL. – Waukegan Middle School Students Perform at Genesee Theatre April 10 – 11 for music students, there’s something magical about performing in front of an audience, and on April 10 – 11, students of Waukegan’s five District 60 middle schools had the opportunity to do just that at the Waukegan Middle School Music and Art Festival. Sponsored by Bravo Waukegan, a Lake Forest-based nonprofit organization supporting music education in Waukegan public schools, the event brought together more than 1,000 choir, band and orchestra students at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan.
A network of volunteers, families and friends attended, including community leaders Waukegan Mayor Sam Cunningham, Waukegan District 60 Superintendent Theresa Plascencia, and Waukegan School Board President R. Michael Rodriguez.
“We are thrilled to sponsor this event. The festival is unique because it provides students with the opportunity to perform together within the setting of the beautiful and historic Genesee Theatre,” said Karey Walker, executive director, Bravo Waukegan.
The event also gave Bravo an opportunity to thank Waukegan’s music teachers, local officials and supporters with a reception following the performances. “The music teachers work tirelessly to share their gift of music with students throughout the year, and we are glad to have the opportunity to say thank you by hosting a reception for them,” added Walker.
