William Floyd High School Hosts College Music Signing Day

William Floyd High School recently hosted its fourth annual Senior Signing Day event for college bound student musicians. To be a collegiate musician, students must first be accepted to a college or university and then invited to audition which involves rigorous preparation and a presentation of between two and five musical pieces performed before a panel of music professors. This year, several William Floyd High School seniors have committed to performing in collegiate music ensembles, three will minor in music and nine will major in music in the areas of music performance, music education, music composition, music industry, music business and musical theater. This talented group of student-musicians has been collectively awarded nearly one million dollars in scholarships!
