Locust Valley High School’s talented music department students traveled to New Jersey on June 2 to compete in the Music in the Parks Festival.
Participants and ensembles were graded by judges from across the country, and Locust Valley students took home several awards before heading to Six Flags for the rest of the day.
The high school string orchestra, concert band and concert chorale all took home first place and superior rating, while senior Elizabeth Neumeyer was named overall outstanding vocalist out of all participating high schools.
“We are incredibly proud of the talent, teamwork and dedication of our students and staff,” the district’s Coordinator of Instructional Technology and Fine and Applied Arts AnnMarie Buonaspina said. “What a wonderful way to celebrate our high school performing ensembles and close out a great year! Bravo to all!”
