Six North Shore Middle School students participated in the prestigious NYSBDA (New York State Band Directors Association) Middle School Honor Band. These 6 students joined 94 other highly skilled Middle school musicians from around the state, chosen by a merit-based process.

They rehearsed and performed a challenging program for an audience of family, friends, and band directors from all corners of New York.
