The Jr.-Sr. High School congratulates student-musician John Costanza (tenor I), who participated in the Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association All-County Festival, held at Hauppauge High School on Nov. 15.  

SCMEA brings together the county’s highest-achieving music students to perform in one or several three large ensembles, including concert band, chorus and orchestra. John was nominated by his teachers based on his New York State School Music Association scores from the previous year, as well as for his character attributes. 

Additionally, three student musicians participated in the NYSSMA All-State Winter Conference, held in Rochester on Dec. 5-8. Aaron Isaacson (French horn) was selected for the symphonic band on French Horn and Emma Gallagher (alto I) was selected into the mixed chorus. Double bass player John Schroeder had the rare distinction of being selected to perform in two NYSSMA All-State ensembles. John elected to participate with the Instrumental Jazz Ensemble over the string orchestra. 

The music department is incredibly proud of these musicians and their accomplishments and extends best wishes for success in their music careers moving forward.
