On November 17, a small crowd of HMS musicians auditioned for the 2007 New Hampshire All-State Festival. After having gone through an arduous preparation process, it was their task to audition individually for a small group of judges specific to their particular instrument. A prepared piece, scales, and sight-reading (the universal least-favorite portion!) were all included in the audition. Hundreds of other students from around the state were also there at Manchester Memorial High School to audition, making it a pretty raucous afternoon!
Flutists Zoe Ames and Emmie Gooding, violist Nicole Perez, and violinists Michiko Takahashi, Sophie Abrahams-Dematte, and Jeremy Gillam enjoyed dinner at the Red Arrow diner in downtown Manchester before returning to HMS to begin their Thanksgiving vacations --- a few hours late!
Congratulations to all of the students for their hard work and preparation for these auditions, and for representing High Mowing so well.
