The School District of Lee County recently announced that 47 student musicians have been selected to participate in the Florida Music Educators Association All-State performing groups, earning recognition among the finest young musicians in Florida.<\/p>\n
Each year, FMEA holds statewide auditions to fill spots in 24 different All-State performing groups. Students submit blind video auditions that are evaluated alongside submissions from thousands of peers across the state. This year, Lee County\u2019s 47 selections came from a competitive pool of over 10,000 statewide entries, with students representing the district at the FMEA All-State Music Conference in Tampa this past January.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so proud of these incredibly talented students,\u201d said Superintendent Dr. Denise Carlin. \u201cTo compete against over 10,000 musicians statewide and earn a spot among the best takes real dedication and passion. These kids are absolutely remarkable and watching them shine is such a joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students were selected from schools across the district and span elementary through high school levels, representing ensembles including concert orchestras, choirs, bands, and specialized groups.<\/p>\n
