GLEN CARBON - Father McGivney Catholic High School has a talented band and orchestra group of students. This was demonstrated recently when multiple members earned All-State honors.

Ms. Griffin explains, “This is the largest group we have ever had selected in McGivney history!"

"I'm so proud of these students," Griffin, added. "All of them now qualify to be chosen for All-State Senior Choir/Orchestra or Senior Honors Choir/Orchestra, which is scheduled to take place January 27-30, 2021 in Peoria, IL., All-State selections will be released later this month. I could not be prouder of these students.”
