More Than 50 Students Across Baldwin UFSD Named All-County Musicians
Nassau Music Educators Association Invites Select Talent to Perform at Annual Festival
A total of 51 students from the Baldwin Union Free School District (UFSD) have been recognized as All-County musicians by the Nassau Music Educators Association (NMEA). These students were selected based on their NYSSMA scores from last spring, highlighting those who achieved the highest marks. NMEA consists of a committed group of educators who advocate for the importance of quality music education delivered by qualified music teachers.
The selected students performed at the NMEA annual festival, which features the most outstanding musicians from both public and private schools throughout Nassau County. This year’s festival was held at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, running until January 18.
“We are thrilled to have more than 50 of our student musicians representing Baldwin at the NMEA All-County Music Festival,” stated Mr. André Poprilo, the director of fine and performing arts for Baldwin Union Free School District. “This achievement reflects the incredible talent of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the overall excellence of our music education program.”
