Smithtown High Schools Celebrate Musical Achievements

SMITHTOWN, NY — More than 50 musicians from Smithtown High School East and Smithtown High School West were selected to participate in All-State and All-County music festivals this fall and winter, the school district announced.

Fourteen students from High School East and High School West were selected for All-State honors as a result of their superior scores at the New York State School Music Association’s solo festival and teacher recommendations.

The All-State Concert is scheduled for Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 at the Kodak Theatre in the Eastman
School of Music in Rochester.

Thirty-seven students from High School East and High School West were named All-County musicians. Selection to the All-County Festival is one of the most prestigious honors in Suffolk County for a student-musician. Students will perform in the NYSCAME/SCMEA All-County Concert on Nov. 15 at Hauppauge High School.

In addition, nine students from High School West were named All-County Jazz. The SCMEA All County Jazz concert is slated for Nov. 23 at Miller Place High School.
