Hicksville Public Schools

Congratulations to Brandon Baade and Samantha Mason, two talented musicians at Hicksville High School, for being selected to participate in the prestigious NAfME All-Eastern Music ensemble. This ensemble, made up of the top high school musicians from across the northeastern United States, will be performing at the annual conference of the National Association for Music Education in [Rochester, NY], in April.

Brandon and Samantha have demonstrated exceptional skill on their instruments, and have been dedicated members of the Hicksville High School band program for several years. Chad Wyman, Supervisor of Fine Arts points out "This selection is a testament to their hard work and dedication to their craft and love of music. Both Samantha and Brandon will be going to college majoring in Music next year, so this honor is what I can only imagine will be one of many"

We are incredibly proud of Brandon and Samantha and wish them the best of luck as they represent Hicksville High School and our community at the All-Eastern Conference.
