CCHS musicians declared tops in the state 

February 1, 2024

Thirteen musicians from Concord-Carlisle High School’s bands, choirs and orchestras were selected for the All-State roster by the Massachusetts Music Educators Association. 

These students were selected from the top 50% of those accepted to MMEA’s Eastern District Senior Festival. They competed against their peers from across the Commonwealth for a spot in one of the highly selective ensembles that will perform at Symphony Hall later this year.
