When our sports teams win state championships, we celebrate big. The All State Music Festival is like a sports state championship for our talented musicians. This year, Vail had FOUR students earn a spot at the Arizona Music Educators Association All State Music Festival that was held in April Flagstaff. Auditions for these limited spots are highly competitive and very challenging.
A huge congratulations goes out to:
Juliet Osmun - 2nd time Violist from Mica Mountain
Bella Scopel - 1st chair Flutist from Mica Mountain
Ellena Thompson - Choir from Cienega
Gavin Jacobs - Choir from Cienega
Musicians spend countless hours in rehearsals, practicing, and often time with private instructors to gain the skills necessary to compete at these levels. Thank you to our music teachers, not just at the high school level, but at all levels who fed passion and skills into these student musicians throughout their years. Fine Arts students are certainly thriving because of their work and efforts on their student musicians' behalf!
