I am officially a NATIONALLY recognized high school musician!

**MarcusHawkins** · 07-12-2017, 10:33 PM

Short OP, here goes.

I received an email today as an acceptance that I made it in to the All-National Honor Ensemble for Mixed Choir! I'm singing Bass 2 which is the lowest voice part of the 8 voice parts!

I'm so excited, the festival is right after Thanksgiving held in Orlando, Florida!

Can't help but make a thread, it's just that big to me!

Congrats dude!

**MarcusHawkins** · 07-14-2017, 10:09 AM

Thank you so much everyone for all of your congratulations!

Andy, due to the things I want to do in music, I may have to be a music major, and I definitely want to do vocal performance as one of them!

Music will be emailed in mid-late September, I'll keep you guys updated if you're interested in what the music contains. I know at least one of them will be by Dr. Z. Randall Stroope, as he is the clinician of this event!

Once in a lifetime, but you have up to three chances to do it (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior), so it theoretically could be up to thrice in a lifetime! Most people don't know there is an all-national honor ensemble for musicians, you have to find that out yourself!

This is all hosted by NAfME in case you are wondering.

EDIT: This is probably because it all started in 2011 from my research.

Grats~

**MarcusHawkins** · 07-16-2017, 02:52 PM

Thanks Kawaii!

(Ugh I realized I start my Senior year of school in Friday...) :S

**MarcusHawkins** · 09-17-2017, 07:17 PM

Gonna bump this thread since NAfME updated their page, and has this link in it!

They list by state and then by city, so I am eighth from the top! Can't miss me!

Grats man! I did All-Eastern Honors Band ( trombone player) as well as New York All-State back in high school. It definitely feels good to finally get something for doing what you love!

Best of luck to you, and have fun of course!
