Hitting the right notes has landed Stillwater High School sophomore Sawyer Lewis a coveted spot in this year’s Area All-State Mixed Chorus. This prestigious honor is based on the NYSSMA solo score he earned during his performance last May.
The Area All-State Festival represents New York’s Capital Region and brings together hundreds of talented student musicians from more than 40 school districts across nine affiliated counties: Albany, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington. Students are selected through a highly competitive application and solo audition process to perform in Area All-State ensembles, including Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra, Chorus and Jazz Ensemble.
Rehearsals and the culminating performance will take place Nov. 6-7 on the main stage at Proctor’s Theatre, with the final performance scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7 at 2 p.m. This is a tremendous honor for Sawyer and the Stillwater music department, and we are proud to have him representing our school.
If you are interested in attending the concert and supporting Sawyer, please contact Kara Pitkin for more information.
Good luck, Sawyer!
