Fourteen talented musicians from Sanford High School demonstrated their musical excellence at this year's Maine Music Educators Association (MMEA) District 1 Honors Festival. The prestigious event, hosted at Noble High School, celebrated outstanding student performers from across southern Maine.
The selected Sanford students earned their spots through competitive auditions, joining top musicians from other District 1 schools. They performed in various ensembles including band, chorus, and orchestra, showcasing pieces they had prepared through intensive rehearsals.
