Hicksville High School Musicians Recognized At Board Meeting

Hicksville High School students Brandon Baade and Samantha Mason were recognized at the March board of education meeting for being selected to participate in the prestigious National Association for Music Education (NAfME) All-Eastern Music ensemble. This ensemble is made up of the top high school musicians from across the northeastern United States.

Brandon and Samantha have demonstrated exceptional skill on their instruments and have been dedicated members of the Hicksville High School band program for several years. Hicksville Supervisor of Fine Arts Chad Wyman points out, “This selection is a testament to their hard work and dedication to their craft and love of music. Both Samantha and Brandon will be going to college majoring in Music next year, so this honor is what I can only imagine will be one of many.”

The district is incredibly proud of Brandon and Samantha and wishes them the best of luck as they represent Hicksville High School and our community at the annual conference of the National Association for Music Education in Rochester, New York this month.
