Four Watertown students — Sophie Del Donato, Kelsey Donato, Angie Berryman and Ella Armstrong — spoke to the board about their music experiences and preparation after advancing to All‑State and related regional ensembles.
Students described long‑term involvement in choir, band and musical theater, the audition process and the value of exposure to high‑level performance. The group said the All‑State event will be held in Rochester and invited the community to the district’s holiday concert schedule.

A board member supplied statewide audition statistics cited by the students and staff: 5,725 students auditioned for conference‑level ensembles, approximately 2,599 were recommended, and about 823 students were accepted into All‑State groups statewide.
