Five MHS students perform at Area All State Music Festival

Five Monticello High School student musicians participated in the 2025 Zone 9 Area All State Music Festival on Nov. 21 and 22 at Cornwall High School. Students were accepted to these distinguished performing ensembles based on their exceptional NYSSMA Solo Festival performances last spring.  The students most notably enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate at a high level with other like-minded music students, and each said the experience was musically enriching and inspiring!
