Long Beach Boasts 58 All-County Musicians

Fifty-eight students from the Long Beach School District were selected to participate in the New York State School Music Association’s All-County Music Festival.

The performances will be held in January at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. The students earned this prestigious opportunity based on the scores they received at the NYSSMA Solo Evaluation Festival. They represent the most outstanding young musicians in Nassau County and dedicate a great deal of effort to music, with much support and guidance from the Comprehensive Arts Department. For the past four years, the District has been identified as a Best Community for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation.

“All-County selection is a great honor and our musicians have earned it through hard work and practice,” Director of Comprehensive Arts Dr. Dale Johanson said. “The musical achievements that we see in Long Beach each year also reflect the dedication of our teachers, who go above and beyond in encouraging students to reach their maximum potential. Congratulations to all.”
