Over 1000 students from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts auditioned to be a part of the Massachusetts Music Educators All-State Orchestra. Auditions required students to perform a solo, prepare scales, and sight read. Among the students selected to participate in the All-State Orchestra are Stephen Wagner, Class IV, Myung-Ju Kim, Class III, and HyunJin Kim, Class II.

Participation in this audition process was also quite selective. Only students in the upper half of the previous four MMEA District Festivals were invited to audition. Steve and Myung-Ju were selected for the orchestra in the violin section, and HyunJin was chosen as the principal flute in the orchestra, which means she had the top score from the entire state.

They will participate in the festival which takes place at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel the weekend of March 17-18-19. The final concert will be at Symphony Hall in Boston on Saturday March 19 at 2:00PM. The orchestra will be performing works of Tchaikovsky and Barber.
