THREE NS MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSICIANS PERFORM AT THE NY STATE BAND DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION (NYSBDA)
Three North Shore Middle School musicians participated in the exclusive New York State Band Directors Association (NYSBDA) Middle School Honor Band earlier this year on March 4-5th 2016 in Syracuse, N.Y. They were the first students selected from North Shore Middle School in over 10 years.
Band teacher Eric Mordhorst said, “Keegan Brown, Nicholas Ditrano, and Fiona Shonik were selected from a statewide pool of applicants, only approximately 100 students were selected from around NY State. Their selection was based on their outstanding achievement at the NYSSMA Solo Festivals.”
The three talented musicians rehearsed and played in a concert under the direction of Dr. Nola Jones, Director of Music for Nashville Public Schools. They performed beautifully in front of their parents and Band Directors from around NY State. Bravo to Keegan, Nicholas and Fiona for such a wonderful accomplishment!
