Reprinted from WCSH6.com, written by Sam Moore-Young
There will be music making on the Gorham Campus of University of Southern Maine (USM) this week. Over 400 high school musicians from Maine will converge on USM for the Maine Music Educators Association’s annual All State Music Festival.
Last November, students went through rigorous auditions to secure a spot in one of the three honors performance groups: Orchestra, Band, Chorus. Competition is keen and being accepted one year does not guarantee acceptance the next year.
Students will rehearse May 19th & 20th on campus, then move to Windham High School for the concerts on May 21st. Order of the concerts is as follows: 2:00 pm Orchestra; 3:30 pm Band; 5:00 pm Chorus. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Ticket prices are $8.00 each for ONE concert; $6.00 each for TWO concerts ($12.00 total); $5.00 each for all three concerts. ($15.00 total). Tickets are not reserved seating – only general admission. Attendees will leave the hall between the performances.
