Congratulations to the 18 North Carolina students selected to participate in the NAfME All-National Honors Ensembles (ANHE) at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida on November 7-10, 2019. This is a great honor and a transformative opportunity for our music students. The NCMEA is proud to give $250 toward the travel expenses for each student.
The ANHE represents the top performing high school musicians in the United States. So much more than a musical showcase, the ANHE program is a comprehensive and educational experience. The 2019 ensembles will be under the leadership of top conductors in the field of music education.
