THIRTY HHS MUSICIANS PERFORM AT NEW HAMPSHIRE'S ALL-STATE FESTIVAL


Patty Armstrong of HHS's Music Department writes: Thirty music students participated in choruses, band and orchestra April 2-4 at the annual New Hampshire All State Music Festival. HHS was represented by 18 vocalists, 7 string players and 5 wind instrument players, who were selected from hundreds of students by state-wide auditions for this prestigious state music recognition.

The students rehearsed for two days with guest conductors such as Dr. Carol Krueger (Florida Southern College) and Anthony Maiello (George Mason University). Students then gave performances in the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord. Among the pieces were Domine Fili from Vivaldi's Gloria, and Leonard Bernstein's Candide Overture.
