KINGS PARK HIGH SCHOOL NYSSMA ALL-STATE WINTER CONFERENCE

Left to Right – Matthew Werner, Sierra Healy, Mikayla TerranaThe NYSSMA All-State Winter Conference is one of the most prestigious music festivals in New York. The yearly conference is host to band, chorus, orchestra, and jazz ensembles consisting of top students from music departments across the state. To be selected for All-State, sophomores and juniors must perform a Level VI solo at the NYSSMA Solo Festival and earn a score from 98-100. Every year, roughly 6,500 students participate in the solo festival but only 600 students are chosen to perform in one of the All-State honors ensembles. The conference concludes with concert performances held at the Kodak Hall-Eastman Theatre in Rochester, New York.

This year, three seniors from Kings Park High School were selected and attended the conference as part of the All-State Symphonic Band (Matthew Werner) and All-State Symphony Orchestra (Sierra Healy and Mikayla Terrana). Congratulations to our All-State musicians for this incredible accomplishment!
