Lindenhurst Boasts SCMEA Stars

Lindenhurst Middle School student-musicians Corey Voorneveld and Russell Ward were chosen to participate in this year’s Suffolk County Music Educators Association All-County Instrumental Jazz Ensemble.

Corey (tenor saxophone) and Russell (baritone saxophone) were selected for this honor based on their jazz audition pieces at the New York State School Music Association evaluation festivals and their improvisational skills.

They will represent two of the 17 instruments in the All-County Band and will perform on Saturday, Feb. 7 at Centereach High School.

In addition, a total of 37 district students representing grades 6-12 have been selected to represent Lindenhurst at the annual SCMEA All-County Music Festival in March. All concerts will be held at Huntington High School.
