Bayport-Blue Point High School is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of several student-musicians who have been selected to participate in prestigious music festivals at the county and state levels.
Each year, the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) hosts its All-State Festival in Rochester. This event brings together the top high school musicians from across New York State. Thousands of sophomores and juniors audition each spring for the opportunity to perform in these elite ensembles. Bayport-Blue Point High School is pleased to announce that Francesco S. was selected as an alternate for the vocal jazz ensemble at this year’s NYSSMA All-State Festival.
Several students have also been chosen to perform in the New York State Council of Administrators of Music Education (NYSCAME) All-County Music Festival, which will take place this November. This festival features the top junior and senior musicians from across Suffolk County and selections are based on NYSSMA solo evaluations, teacher recommendations and overall musicianship. Representing Bayport-Blue Point High School this year are Willem A. (French Horn), Michaela D. (Soprano 2), Kaylee D. (Soprano 2), Francesco S. (Tenor 1), Alexander V. (Flute), Hannah W. (Soprano 2) and Jackson Z. (Trumpet).
In addition, Kaylee D. was also selected to perform in the Suffolk County Music Educators Association’s (SCMEA) All-County Jazz Festival as a soprano.
Bayport-Blue Point High School congratulates all of these students for their remarkable achievements and for representing the school and community with pride!
