Notable Honors for Rocky Point Musicians

As a result of their musical talents, several Rocky Point High School students have been selected to perform at regional and state-level festivals.

Based on their outstanding scores at last year’s NYSSMA solo and ensemble festival along with teacher recommendations, Nicolas Amato (symphonic band), Breanna Garske (mixed choir), Samantha Giacoia (women’s choir), Nicholas LoCastro (mixed choir), Thomas Loomis (mixed choir), Prima Mandolfo (women’s choir), Daniel Infranco (symphonic band/mixed choir), Rosa Valente (mixed choir) and Justin Zorcik (symphonic band) will represent the district at the NYSCAME All-County Music Festival.

Daniel Infranco and Thomas Loomis were also selected to perform at the NYSSMA All-State Music Conference. Thomas will perform with the mixed chorus and Daniel, who was selected for two groups, will perform with the symphony orchestra. Both students received a score of 100 on their solo performances.
