New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Union Free School District student musicians were selected to perform in the All-County music festival.
The festival, which is hosted by the Nassau Music Educators Association, held rehearsals and concerts in January. Fifth and sixth-grade band, chorus, and orchestra students were chosen based on their New York State School Music Association scores from the previous school year, as well as teacher recommendation.
