Harrison High School Students Perform in Area All-State Music Festival
Twenty-six Harrison High School students performed at the 2024 New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Area All-State Festival. Students were selected based on their performance and scores at NYSSMA Solo Festivals last spring and are among the best young musicians in Westchester County. The honor ensembles are composed of 10th – 12th-grade strings, band, and choral students from across Westchester. The students rehearsed over several weeks in preparation for the concert on November 2 and 3.
“Practice. Practice. Practice.” was among the top responses from students when asked what it took to achieve the All-State honor. These accomplished musicians believe perseverance and joy are essential to their success, and encourage others to “Never give up and try with all your heart, be willing to receive feedback….try your best and most of all, have fun.”
