The Owego Apalachin Central School District recently congratulated Maddison Gillis on two exceptional musical achievements this school year. Maddison performed in Rochester with the NYSSMA All-State Symphonic Band in December 2022. She was selected as one of the best flute players in New York State. This was from her All-State audition in March 2022, where she received a perfect score of 100.<\/p>\n

Thousands of musicians audition for the All-State ensembles, but only a few flute players are accepted. Maddie shared that she \u201cloved the experience of all musicians coming together to make a big sound,\u201d and added, \u201cMy favorite piece was Harriet, <\/i>about the life of Harriet Tubman.\u201d <\/p>\n

Additionally, Maddie was selected as the best of about 350 singers in the eastern region. She performed with the National Association of Music Education All-Eastern Treble Chorus on April 16, 2023. Maddie shared that she loved working with the conductor on different music. In this performance, Maddie soloed on a piece called Ergen Deda in Bulgarian. <\/p>\n

Maddie prepared the music for both honors well before the performance, with lots of practice time outside school. She will attend Mansfield University in the fall, majoring in music education. <\/p>\n

Megan Burrell, chorus teacher, shared, \u201cMaddie is a naturally gifted and musical singer. She has a lovely voice that soars above the choir and is a leader in her section, always willing to go above and beyond.\u201d <\/p>\n

Lindsey Williams, band teacher, stated, \u201cMaddie has been a dedicated and enthusiastic worker since beginning her studies in our elementary music program. We are all so proud of her many years of hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
