Every year, high school students across the Commonwealth compete for spots in several all-state music groups. After surviving the initial cut, they qualify for live auditions in December. Those who win seats travel to Louisville in February for three days of intense rehearsals with renowned conductors. The groups then perform as featured ensembles at the Kentucky Music Educators Association’s state conference.

Fayette County Public Schools congratulates these young musicians chosen in 2011-2012.
