Congratulations to North Quincy High School Concert Choir students Maya Egan, Gio Mackenzie, and Lunn Tha, and Band student Fanny Yang for their participation in the Massachusetts Music Educators Association Eastern District Senior Festival!

After undergoing a rigorous and competitive audition process in November, these students were selected to perform with other top-ranking high school musicians from over 30 school districts in Eastern Massachusetts. The Senior District Festival took place at the Boston Latin School on January 6th and 7th and ended with a concert that featured the Orchestra, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Mixed Chorus.

Choir member Lunn Tha was also selected to perform at the MMEA All-State Music Festival, which will take place in March at Symphony Hall in Boston.
