All-District String Night
February 5, 2024
Congratulations to the Sayville Schools orchestra students who participated in the All-District String Night on Wednesday, January 31 at the Middle School!
The superb concert brought together orchestra students from the elementary level to high school.
Middle School orchestra teacher Ms. Karen Savage noted that the 6th grade and 7th/8th grade combined orchestras played brand-new pieces after only two weeks since their Winter Concert.
Another first was the String Ensemble performing in the concert.
To close the show, District Music Chairperson Mr. Ari Kramer conducted the All-District Orchestra in the “Viol Boogie.”
“We are so very proud of the string program and all of the students that performed from elementary through high school,” Mr. Kramer said.
