Seventy-eight student-musicians from Port schools performed in the annual Nassau County Music Educators Association (NMEA) Division V (Grades 11-12), Division IV (Grades 9-10), Division III (Grades 7-8), Division II (Grade 6), Division I (Grade 5) and Jazz All-County Festivals on Jan. 10-17 at the Tilles Center at CW Post. These student-musicians were chosen based upon their solo performances at the NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festival held last spring. They performed major masterworks under the baton of master conductors and music educators.
Director of Creative Arts Kevin Scully said, “We are extremely proud of these students and their teachers for all of their hard work and dedication. The sheer number of students selected demonstrates the high-quality, well-rounded education received by the students of the Port Washington School District.”
