20 Herricks HS Students Perform At LISFA Festival
Students are selected for this prestigious festival based on their NYSSMA Solo Evaluation scores.

Twenty Herricks High School musicians recently attended the Long Island String Festival Association's (LISFA) Secondary Festival at Wisdom Lane Middle School in Levittown. Students are selected for this prestigious festival based on their NYSSMA Solo Evaluation scores from the previous year and teacher recommendation.
“Many school districts are represented by only one student, so having 20 students represent Herricks is a noteworthy achievement,” said Director of Music and Performing Arts Anissa Arnold.
The talented young string players rehearsed with prominent guest conductors in intensive rehearsal for four hours each day, culminating in a final performance on Nov. 19.
