Harborfields Musicians Earn County and Statewide Honors

We are thrilled to share that music students from across Harborfields have started the school year earning prestigious recognition.
Mark Carillion, Kyleigh Connors, Harry Diner, Michelle Diner, Meghan Duff, Jackson Dunham, Alex Gerde, Brynn Gerde, Rhys Walter, and Phoebe Xidas, have been selected for the New York State Council of Administrators of Music Education (NYSCAME) All-County ensembles! These instrumental and vocal groups, composed of top-scoring upperclassmen NYSSMA musicians from across Suffolk, present the best of the best in music from our very competitive county.
Additionally, six of the above students have earned the highest music recognition in New York - a NYSSMA All-State designation. Kyleigh Connors, Harry Diner, Jackson Dunham, Alex Gerde, Brynn Gerde, and Rhys Walter will join a talented group of high school musicians who will rehearse and perform in December at the NYSSMA Winter Conference in Rochester.
Last, but not least, five student musicians representing Oldfield Middle School and Harborfields High School have been selected for the Suffolk County Music Educators Associations' All-County Jazz ensembles. From HHS: Phoebe Xidas (12), Kyleigh Connors (12), Jacob Guzzardo (12), and Nora McCloskey (9); From OMS: Julia Roer (8). These incredibly talented students will rehearse and perform at a concert with their peers from across Suffolk County in November.
These wonderful accomplishments wouldn’t be possible without the guidance and support of our dedicated music educators, Mr. Antonelli, Ms. Scilla, Ms. Sullivan, and Mr. Bilawsky.
Congratulations to all!
