🎶On November 21st and 22nd, 350 of the area’s top music students came to Elmira High School for a two day music festival, Area All-State, hosted by the music faculty at Elmira High School.
🎻🥁🎷🎺🎹The students, representing 38 school districts from Allegany, Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, and Yates counties, were accepted into the Concert Band, Mixed Chorus, Modern Band, or String Orchestra and were given the opportunity to rehearse and perform with professional conductors. The 10th, 11th, and 12th grade musicians started the process of being accepted into the honor ensembles the previous Spring and they had an amazing concert.
🎉Congratulations especially to our Elmira High School students that were accepted! Seven band students, eight orchestra students, and three choir students chosen for this honor!
🎼Another congratulations to Kimberly Henry, the festival host, for also being elected as the Zone 15 NYSSMA Representative! She will be representing the Southern Tier music teachers at the State level for next three years.
