Student-musicians received the tremendous honor of being selected to perform in the All-County music festival. The festival, which is hosted by the Nassau Music Educators Association, held rehearsals and concerts in January.
Fifth and sixth grade band, chorus and orchestra students were chosen based on their NYSSMA scores from the previous school year, as well as teacher recommendation. All-County selection allows the students to play with some of the finest musicians at their age level in Nassau County.
