Band

Music is a valued art in District 31, and the Field Middle School band and orchestra students have a long history of musical excellence! Students' achievements include Division 1 ratings at district and state IGSMA contests, performances at state band festivals, participation in the ILMEA Honor Band and Orchestra, and high ratings at the District 31 Solo and Ensemble Festival. Students also enjoy local fun at marching band nights and district concerts, and they perform at the 8th-grade graduation.
