Eleven Farmington High School band and choir students recently performed in Orchestra Hall as the culmination of the Minnesota All-State Program. Sponsored by the Minnesota Music Educators Association, All-State is the highest honor bestowed upon a high school music student. In addition to their performance at Orchestra Hall, over the summer the All-State students took part in a week-long camp focused on developing their music skills. The instrumentalists were at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN and the vocalists were at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN.
