The 12 Manhasset students are among the thousands who auditioned for the conference by participating in solo evaluation festivals last spring.
“Having these All-State students representing Manhasset is a result of outstanding music education they receive from the moment they set foot in our schools,” Dr. Christopher Hale Fine and Performing Arts Director, said. “We are incredibly proud of these students and all they have accomplished.”
The All-State Conference will take place in Rochester from Dec. 2-5.
