Northport High School senior Julia Mescallado has been selected for the National Association for Music Education’s All-National Honor Ensemble for band. Julia, who plays the snare drum and mallets, was selected for this prestigious recognition following her selection for All-State. She will participate in the virtual All-National Honor Ensembles program in January 2022.  

The virtual event will include “several rehearsals with the 2021 ANHE Conductors, workshops with renown clinicians, and each ensemble will create a final, recorded performance which will be premiered online during the 37th-annual ‘Music in Our Schools Month’.” Being selected qualifies Julia as one of the top student musicians in the country.  

Additionally, 32 students were selected for All-County. While the performance has been cancelled due to the pandemic, these students represent some of the most talented across Suffolk County.  

Congratulations to all!
