In a celebration of musical talent and dedication, the students of ASMS have made their mark at the Steuben All-County Band and Chorus Festivals. Their hard work and commitment throughout the school year have earned them well-deserved recognition.
Festival A, hosted at Hornell High School on March 3-4, 2023, and Festival B, held at Bath Middle School on March 17-18, provided platforms for these hard-working musicians and vocalists to showcase their skills. A total of 40 ASMS students participated, with 18 at Festival A, 29 at Festival B, and many talented individuals attended both events.
​
Their outstanding performances not only reflect their dedication to honing their craft but also the support and guidance provided by ASMS faculty. As a community, let us extend our heartfelt congratulations to these remarkable students for their accomplishments. Here's to the bright future ahead for these aspiring artists!

ASMS brings awareness to the hunger needs of the southern tier! Our goal is to raise $2500+ for the Food Bank of the Southern Tier’s BackPack Program.
