Willowbrook senior Emma Cismesia (pictured above) has been selected to perform the National Anthem during the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Girls Basketball State Tournament.
Cismesia will sing on March 7 in Redbird Arena at Illinois State University. She will perform about 12:30 and 7 p.m. (times are tentative and depend on the games).
Cismesia was selected for this honor through an audition process in cooperation with the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA). Students from IHSA-member schools had the opportunity to audition during the Illinois Music Education Conference, which took place from Jan. 27 to 30 in Peoria.
