Commack Students Selected in NYSSMA All-State

Seven singers and musicians are chosen out of thousands across NYS.

Music students from Commack High School will take part in the 2013 New York State School Music Association All-State Winter Conference.

Seven Commack students were selected for the honor, which required competitive auditions involving thousands of young musicians and singers from across the state.

During a lengthy selection process that takes place during the summer, chairpeople from across the state gathered to select the finest musicians to perform in various All-State ensembles.

The concerts will take place in the Eastman Theater located in Rochester.

“It is quite an honor to be selected to perform in an All-State ensemble,” stated Paul R. Infante, Commack's Director of Fine and Applied Arts, in a press release. “Each of these musicians possesses exceptional talent and we are proud that they are representing Commack on a state level.”
