On Saturday, Nov. 14, 143 Belmont High School music students traveled to North Andover High School to audition for the Massachusetts Music Educators Northeast District Senior Festival. These students were among the 1,127 students from surrounding towns vying for the opportunity to perform in one of the District Honors ensembles: Band, Chorus, Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble. Each student worked for months to prepare for their audition, which required a great amount of time, effort and courage.

Belmont is proud to announce that 66 Belmont student musicians were accepted to perform in the Senior District Festival. The number of students choosen matches the all-times high for acceptances from BHS set in 2014, which included many of the same musicians.

Additionally, more than half, 36, of those selected also earned All-State Recommendations, offering them the opportunity to audition for the MMEA All-State Festival in January.
