Students Excel in Music Competition
Nine Groton musicians have earned a place in the Massachusetts Music Educators Central Districts Music Festival, including six who were invited to audition for the All-State festival.
Winning a spot in Districts were Liv Ding '26 on viola; Alexander Newman '25 on clarinet; Amanda Chang '26 on flute; Eric Ge '24, Georgia Martin '24, and Matt Sennelius '25 on violin; Brittany Deng '24 and Julie Xie '23 on cello; and Brenda Li '25, a soprano, in the voice category.
Liv, Alexander, Amanda, Eric, Georgia, and Brittany will also audition for All-States. Liv and Alexander earned the highest scores on their respective instruments and will be seated as principal players in the Districts orchestra.
"I am very proud of these nine Groton musicians, who put in the extra time and effort on top of their studies, Groton musical commitments, sports, drama, and other afternoon commitments to prepare for auditions for the Massachusetts Music Educators Central District auditions," said Music Department Head Mary Ann Lanier. "Every year a few students from Groton audition, and we consistently send players to the festival and to All-State auditions. But this is by far our most resounding success!"
