The New York State Music Association has made its selection of students who will participate in the 2022 NYSSMA Conference All-State music groups, and the Half Hollow Hills Central School District is very proud to count eight of its students as All-State musicians chosen to take part in this year’s Winter Conference. An additional nine student musicians from the district were selected as alternates and may be chosen to fill any openings in the performances.
The students from Half Hollow Hills selected to participate are:
• Rishi Aravind, Double Bass, Symphony Orchestra, High School East
