Trills and Thrills

Trills and Thrills Music Festival/Great America

Each year the eighth grade band participates in the Trills and Thrills Festival at Johnsburg High School. This is a large group festival where each band performing is recorded and adjudicated by collegiate judges. The group is then presented with a plaque and ribbon with it’s earned rating.  After the morning festival is completed, students travel to Great America in Gurnee, Illinois for the rest of the day.
