The music department acknowledges the following students for their participation in the 2019 spring NYSSMA festivals. NYSSMA is a state-wide organization that hosts solo and ensemble festivals each spring for participating school districts. Students prepare a piece of music that is appropriate to their performance level, and are evaluated by an adjudicator who gives feedback on their performance and offers suggestions to improve their musical skills.
