    Five Akron High School musicians were selected for this year's NYSSMA Area All-State Festival held at SUNY Fredonia on Friday, November 17th, and Saturday, November 18th.  This past spring, they auditioned and were chosen out of hundreds of applicants from Erie, Niagara, and Chautauqua Counties.  We are incredibly proud of their accomplishment and for representing the Akron Music Department.  Bravo!
