The All-State selection “process” begins with the solo being evaluated by a NYSSMA Certified All-State adjudicator.  These All-State adjudicators are responsible for evaluating every All-State solo of the same instrument or voice part.  At the conclusion of the festival, the All-State adjudicators create a rank ordered proficiency list of all students being recommended.  We are ecstatic to report that seven students and one alternate from Kings Park High School have been selected to attend this year’s festival.  This amount of students selected is a “first” in the history of our music program.
