Four Summit High School band students successfully auditioned for the Central Jersey Music Educators Association (CJMEA) Region Ensembles in December. These students were accepted based on a competitive audition held at JP Steven’s High School. There were over 100 students trying out from all over the region, which is made up of schools in Hunterdon, Monmouth, Mercer, Somerset, Middlesex, and Union Counties, for 18 slots. We congratulate the following students who performed with their ensembles in a concert in early January: Filip Vizitiu, Symphonic Band; Katrina Lin, Flute Symphonic Band; Emily Kane, Clarinet, Symphonic Band; Abby Brandt, English Horn, Wind Ensemble and Orchestra.
We are also proud to announce that two students were selected to perform with the Nafme All National Band and Orchestra. Nikki Lee (violin) performed with the Orchestra and Katrina Lin (flute) performed with the Band at Disneyland in Orlando, Florida. Both of these talented musicians had to submit a taped audition last June and were selected from a pool of students across all 50 states.
Three Summit High School chorus students successfully auditioned for the Central Jersey Music Educators Association (CJMEA) Region II Chorus in December. These students competed against choral students out from all over Hunterdon, Monmouth, Mercer, Somerset, Middlesex, and Union counties. We congratulate the following students who will be performing with their respective ensembles at a concert in early February: Anna Creel, Soprano I, 9th Grade; Ella Grainger, Soprano I, 9th Grade; Annabelle Avelino, Alto II, 10th Grade.
