Pine Crest Middle and Upper School Student Students Named FMEA All-State Musicians
November 23rd 2020
Forty (40) Pine Crest School Middle and Upper School student musicians from the band, chorus, and orchestra programs have been named best in the state by the Florida Music Educators Association (FMEA).
The All-State designation is extremely rare, granted to less than 1% of eligible students statewide. The students will collaborate with university directors, clinicians, and peers for this outstanding musical experience.
Of special note, Jessica Berger ’26, Asha Gandreti ’25, Liana Safadi ’25, and Sophia Wang ’25 have the exceptional distinction of being named All-State for Choir and Orchestra.
Congratulations to all!
