Garden City Public Schools

From Dec. 4-7, three Garden City High School students participated in the New York State School Music Association’s All-State Festival, a prestigious honor recognizing the top student musicians from across the state. The All-State bands, choirs, orchestras and jazz ensembles are comprised of outstanding performers selected from school music programs statewide.

GCHS students Ava Chen, Sarah Phinney and Emily Pulver earned this distinction and took part in the festival experience. During the event, they engaged in an intensive three-day rehearsal process held during the New York State Music Educators Association conference in Rochester, N.Y., culminating in a final performance at the Eastman Theatre.

Congratulations to Ava, Sarah and Emily on this exceptional achievement.
