KMEA Taps Hundreds for 2026 All-State Ensembles

Each year, looking ahead to the Kentucky Music Educators Association (KMEA) winter conference, students across the state audition for the Commonwealth’s top ensembles. Those selected for all-state recognition then come together to rehearse the music and perform in culminating concerts.

Congratulations to the 2025-26 honorees from Fayette County Public Schools!
