34 Glen Cove Students Named All-County Musicians

Thirty-four students from the Glen Cove City School District were named All-County musicians.

These students were selected by the Nassau Music Educators Association based on last year’s New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) scores and teacher recommendations.

Performances will be held at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in January.

The Glen Cove Music Department and members of the administration congratulated these students on this outstanding musical achievement.
