Thirty-nine student musicians from Schoharie CSD recently participated in the Schoharie County Music Educators’ Association All County Music Festival. Exceptional student musicians have been chosen to participate based on recommendations by their music teachers and through a selection process. Selected students rehearsed with guest conductors on Thursday, March 16 and Saturday, March 18. The festival culminated in a concert on Saturday, March 18 given by Middle School Choir, High School Band, and High School Choir. This year the festival took place at Duanesburg CSD. Participating school districts are Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Cobleskill-Richmondville, Duanesburg, Middleburgh, Schoharie, and Sharon Springs.
This annual festival is held during March, which is Music in Our Schools Month. This nationally-recognized observance is a vehicle for reminding parents, students and the wider community that all children deserve a quality education which includes music and the arts. The members of SCMEA meet on a regular basis to plan two festivals which offer expanded music opportunities for music students. The group also sponsors scholarships for graduating seniors who will continue to participate in music ensembles in college next year. Congratulations to all of the participants:
