Vandermeulen's Garant Performs at Music Festival

Senior selected as one of the best singers in Suffolk County.

Earl L. Vandermeulen High School senior Parris Garant recently performed in the 2015 Suffolk County Music Educator’s Association All-County Music Festival, held on Nov. 19, 20 and 21.

Garant was selected along with others from across Suffolk County as a result of a competitive application process, which included a review of the students’ NYSSMA scores and teacher recommendations.

Garant also sings with the school’s choir and chamber choir. She was also recently named as a scholar-artist by the Long Island Arts Alliance for her vocal abilities.
