Four Bethpage High School Students with staff

Bethpage High School proudly announces that four music students have earned the honor of participating in the NYSSMA All-State Music Conference in Rochester this December.

Senior Benjamin Maciel-Seidman was selected to perform with the All-State Symphonic Band on tenor saxophone. Grace Cho, Gyuree Kim and Kayla Cusumano were named as alternates.

The All-State Conference brings together New York’s top student musicians, who rehearse and perform under the direction of professional guest conductors in ensembles such as band, chorus and orchestra. Only about 600 students from across the state are chosen each year.

Bethpage congratulates these students and extends appreciation to the dedicated music faculty — Director of Fine and Performing Arts Mr. Brent Chiarello, orchestra teacher Dr. Eric Kay, and band teacher Ms. Kristen Warnokowski — for guiding and inspiring them to achieve this distinction.
