The Amityville School District’s music department is very pleased to announce that two of Amityville Memorial High School’s music students were selected to represent the district as members of various 2022 NYSCAME/Suffolk All-County Honors Ensembles this year.
Melissa Fearrington was selected as a member of the NYSCAME/Suffolk All-County Chorus and Madeline Shingleton was selected as a member of the NYSCAME/Suffolk All-County Orchestra. Additionally, Shingleton was seated as the principal cellist (first chair) of the All-County Orchestra.
Hundreds of students auditioned for placement into these ensembles last spring at NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festivals throughout Suffolk County. Students were chosen to participate based on their proficiency score achieved at the festival and teacher recommendations. The All-County festival showcased the top 11th- and 12th-grade students of all Suffolk County music programs.
The district congratulates Fearrington, Shingleton, their families, and their past and present music teachers for this outstanding achievement!
