Berlin HS Students Participate In Connecticut Music Educators Association

From Berlin HS: Eight students from Berlin High School participated in the Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA) All-State Music Festival at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford March 30th through April 1st .

The prestigious All-State festival consists of the top high school musicians in the state. To qualify, students had to successfully make their way through two rigorous auditions, first earning a spot in the Northern Region Music Festival and then going through an even more challenging audition process to land a spot in the All-State festival.

During the intense three-day event students learned advanced repertoire under the direction of renowned conductors. The culmination of the festival was a concert featuring concert band, orchestra, chorus, and jazz band.

Berlin High School musicians participating this year included Mark Bosse, Kate Rochette, Lauren Salee, Dawson Trotman, Caylie Whiteside, and Anna Woodin performing with the All-State Choir; Theo Reed performing in the All-State Orchestra; and Mariel Christiana performing with the All- State Band. These students study band and chorus under the direction of BHS music teachers Ms. Kathryn Scherer, choral director, and Mr. Jeff Sirois, band director.
