CHICAGO (WLS) -- The choir director at Elk Grove High School calls it an "awesome" way to end the school year.



Her students won a contest and got to perform with Foreigner during the band's concert Friday night at Northerly Island.



Students described their reaction when they heard the news.



"We found out like during the school day so all of us were running around hugging each other," said choir member Olivia Fritz.



"It was just really cool," choir member Pascal Pahl said. "It was a great feeling everybody was so happy we were like 'we did it' so it was awesome."



The band will make a donation to the Elk Grove High School choir program.
