Extra Help ‘Black-out’ period at MS
May 13th, 2011 by Mr. Green
[quote]“Excused absences for extra help will not be approved during the four rehearsals immediately prior to a concert date in order to allow the entire performing group to have some fully attended rehearsal time. Students are urged to find alternate extra help means during this short time. This “black-out period” is approximately one week and one day prior to a concert.”[/quote]
The text above is from a notice shared with parents earlier in the year ( Download the entire letter.) We’d remind parents and students that the days leading up to our concerts are extremely important for working out final details and solidifying a true ensemble performance. As such, we do not permit students to leave rehearsals for extra help during the 4 rehearsals prior to the concerts.
This black-out period for grade 6 began on Wednesday, May 11 and continues through their concert date on Thursday, May 19th. The black-out period for grades 7 and 8 began today, Friday May 13 and continues through their concert date on Monday, May 23rd.

The Suffolk Chapter of the New York State Council of Administrators of Music (NYSCAME) will hold its annual All-County Festival at Half Hollow Hills High School on November 19, 2010. The finest High School musicians in Suffolk County have been selected to perform in choral, orchestral and band ensembles under the leadership of skilled guest conductors. After many hours of rehearsals, these students will perform a concert of highly challenging works at a level approaching, if not equal to that of professional ensembles.
In a county as large as Suffolk, All-County selections are highly competitive. On the secondary level, students are selected by virtue of the score they received at the NYSSMA Solo Festival held the previous spring, which must be among the highest in the county.
Islip High School is proud to be represented by:
- Jonathan Dowd- Trombone (Band)
- Michael Mc Alpin- Bass (Chorus)
- Catherine Weston- Soprano (Chorus)
- Meaghan Tramposch- Alto (Chorus)
- Rebecca Goess- Alto (Chorus)
- Casey Richards- Alto (Chorus)
- Clarice Oscher- Clarinet (Band)
- Rebecca Sgroi- Violin (Orchestra)
- Tara Duer- Mallets (Band)
- Staci Palacino- Soprano (Chorus)
