The Lynbrook School District’s musical ensembles made another impressive showing at the New York State School Music Association’s Major Organization Festival at Hofstra University, with four groups earning coveted Gold Awards.

The South Middle School Select Chorus, under the direction of Annie Pasqua, earned a Gold with Distinction rating, which surpasses the Gold award, and is given to only a select few who perform at Majors festivals across the state.

Other groups who received Gold ratings were the Elementary District Orchestra led by Gayle Meister, the South Middle School Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Jason Melecio, and the Lynbrook High School Jazz Ensemble led by Brian White.
