Two students in the East Meadow School District have been recognized by the New York State School Music Association for their outstanding musical talents and chosen to perform in the All-State Festival at NYSSMA’s annual Winter Conference, to be held Dec. 1-4. Additionally, four students were also named alternates.
To qualify, students had to receive a score between 98 and 100 on their solo performance, judged by an NYSSMA All-State adjudicator.
From East Meadow High School, Benjamin Krieger has been selected to perform bassoon in the symphony orchestra and from W.T. Clarke High School, Joseph Partridge has been selected to perform tuba in the symphonic band.
This year’s alternates are East Meadow High School students Sanjay Ramsaroop, clarinet, and Samuel Abrons, trumpet; and W.T. Clarke High School students Hailey He, violin, and Bernard Kim, violin.
The district congratulates this year’s NYSSMA All-State musicians!
