    Manhasset Secondary School is proud to celebrate seven exceptional student musicians who were recently selected to participate in the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) All-State Music Festival.

    This prestigious event will be held this December in Rochester, NY and is regarded as one of the highest honors a student musician can achieve in New York State.

    Students who earned a spot in one of the All-State Festival ensembles include: Bernard Chan (Trumpet), Hannah Chang (Oboe), Felice Chu (Bassoon), Colin Gibbs (Bass 1), Thomas Grygiel (Bass 2), Harrison McKenna (Jazz Trumpet) and James Tsekouras (Trombone).

    To be selected, students must be recommended by their music teacher. In addition, they are required to prepare a NYSSMA level VI All-State solo which was evaluated by a NYSSMA Certified All-State adjudicator.

    Manhasset Public Schools congratulates each student on this outstanding achievement.
