Congratulations to Jonah Arne, Abby Blevins, Lauren Czosnyka, and Hank Herringshaw on a fantastic performance in the NYSSMA Area All State Treble and Mixed Choirs this past weekend at SUNY Fredonia. These students were selected to be part of the ensembles which represent the best musicians in NYSSMA Zone 1, which consists of four counties.
These students, along with four other Depew vocalists, performed solos for an adjudicator last spring and received near perfect scores in order to be considered for this honor. This the first time we have had students selected for such a high honor in the choral program!
Abby, Lauren, Jonah, and Hank spent two days rehearsing with renowned conductors and presented a concert in King Concert Hall. Many hours went into their preparation both for the audition last spring and the festival this fall.
All four of these students are model Wildcats and we are so proud to see their great growth achievements!
