Top EG Student Musicians Perform at All State Concerts

by | Apr 20, 2023

Congratulations to the music students of East Greenwich public schools who were chosen for the annual All State concerts, which took place in March. The All States are hosted by the R.I. Music Education Association (RIMEA). To be named to the All State band, orchestra or chorus, students must audition on a nerves-filled Saturday in the fall. Then, before the statewide concerts, students meet for a couple of serious rehearsals. The result? Lots of beautiful music.

Congratulations to all including their supportive families! Music is a Moral Law; It gives Soul to the Universe; Wings to the Mind; Flight to the Imagination; A Charm to Sadness; Gaiety and Life to Everything. It is the Essence of Order and Lends to All that is Good & Just & Beautiful. Plato
