Guilderland Saxophonist selected for the All Eastern Jazz Ensemble
The Guilderland CSD is proud to announce that Bohdan Kinal (senior) has been invited to participate as a member of the 2023 All-Eastern Jazz Ensemble at the National Association for Music Education Eastern Division Conference being held in Rochester, NY from April 13-16. The honor ensembles consist of a band, orchestra, chorus, and jazz ensemble composed of more than 700 high school students selected from the Eastern Division of the United States. Stretching from Maine to the District of Columbia, selection to these prestigious ensembles is a highly competitive endeavor. Students are carefully selected from the eastern states’ All-State participants and inclusion in these ensembles is quite an accomplishment.
Students selected for this honor will spend four days in Rochester rehearsing with other gifted student musicians from across NAfME’s Eastern Division with the event culminating in a concert at Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music.
Congratulations to Bohdan, his family, and his music teachers for this acknowledgment of the years of dedication and hard work which resulted in this outstanding recognition!
