The students performing includeed Jocelyn Hurh, Nicole Mathew, George Lu, Tyler Knudten, Aarya Misra, Alyson Humbert and Rylan Dogadalski, said the school's orchestra director Carol Janossy. The November performance is "quite a gala," Janossy said.

Members of the orchestra are from IMEA District 7, which encompasses the Northern section of Illinois.
