Several music students at Division Avenue High School have been selected to participate in prestigious upcoming festivals that showcase musical talent from across Nassau County and Long Island.
Following a series of rigorous auditions, students from the school’s choir, band and orchestra programs were invited to perform in the Nassau Music Educators Association’s All-County ensembles. These festivals highlight the top student musicians from across the county and are considered a significant achievement for those selected.
In the orchestral division, Adam Hong was chosen to perform in the Division 4 All-County Orchestra. He will be joined by Sean Aguilar, Eunice Kim, Nina Mac and Rowanne Sy, who were all selected for the Division 5 All-County Orchestra.
Representing the school in the All-County Band will be David Yoo and Emmah Khan, both of whom advanced through the audition process in their respective instruments. In the vocal music category, four students — Zuzanna Bodys, Alyssa Leshinsky, Sarah Loiacono and Rachel Maurer — were selected for the All-County Treble Choir, which features top high school vocalists from throughout Nassau.
In addition to their All-County recognition, two Division Avenue students earned spots in a regional string performance group. Adam Hong and Eunice Kim were selected for the Long Island String Festival Association (LISFA), which draws high-performing student string musicians from across Long Island to rehearse and perform as part of a select ensemble.
The festivals will take place in early 2026 and allow students to collaborate with peers from other districts while performing for live audiences. Participation is considered a significant milestone for student musicians, as well as a reflection of Division Avenue’s robust music education program.
