Congratulations to the following students who were selected to participate in the 2026 ILMEA District Festivals!
These students prepared and submitted auditions in September, showcasing their musical skills through prepared excerpts and technique assessments. Judges reviewed hundreds of submissions from students across our ILMEA district to select the musicians who will participate in this year's festivals.
We are incredibly proud of these students and the hard work, dedication, and preparation they put into their auditions. It is exciting to see so many Olympia musicians recognized for their talents, and we can't wait to see them represent Olympia at the festivals in November!
Congratulations again to our 2026 ILMEA District Musicians!

We’re offering a few optional open gym opportunities for girls who are interested in getting some extra volleyball experience before MS Volleyball tryouts in early December!
These open gyms are NOT tryouts and attendance is not required. They are simply a chance to get in the gym, work on skills, get some reps, and have fun playing volleyball before the season begins.
Whether you’ve played before or are newer to the sport, we’d love to see you there!
