Musical Notes

Five student-musicians at Islip High School have been selected for the 2009 High School All-County Music Festival. Students are selected based on outstanding performances they gave at the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Solo and Ensemble Festival in Spring 2009.

High School senior Toni Ann Fanizzi will play the flute in the All-County Band, while senior Greg Antonelli was selected to perform double bass with the All-County Orchestra. Juniors Joel Najarro (tenor 2), Staci Palacino (alto 1), and Casey Richards (alto 1) were selected to sing in the All-County Choruses.

The High School All-County Festival is sponsored by The Suffolk Chapter of the New York State Council of Administrators of Music Education (NYSCAME.) The 2009 High School All-County Music Festival Concert will be held on Friday, November 20 at 8pm at Hauppauge High School.

Their music teachers, Steve Campanella, Zachary Butterfield, and Richard Harris, who direct the band, orchestra, and chorus, respectively, will prepare the students.
