The Illini Statesmen brought two great songs to the Illinois District chorus competition this year, "Where the Southern Roses Grow" (find it in the tag book!) and "Basin Street Blues". We worked hard building the good singing habits necessary to get those songs sounding great, and it paid off. We came in 4th overall with an average score of 70.1—an improvement over last year and another step toward the top of the podium!
