STUDENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
2013 NYSSMA ALL-STATE FESTIVAL
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that Great Neck South High School music students performed extremely well at the recent NYSSMA All-State Solo Festival held on May 3rd and 4th at Hicksville Middle School. We had 16 recorded perfect scores of NYSSMA Level All-State A+ 100. These students will all be selected into All-State next year. Due to the numbers of students earning perfect scores across New York State, not all students will be placed into performance ensembles to perform in Rochester at the Winter NYSSMA Conference in December. In late August, each student will receive a letter indicating whether they have been placed into an All-State performance ensemble or into Alternate status. Thousands of students audition at the NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festivals throughout the State. The top scoring students (based on level of difficulty and highest ranking) are then selected to represent our school and district at the All-State and All-County Music Festivals.
The following students have scored NYSSMA level All-State A+/100 held on May 3rd and 4th at Hicksville Middle School:
