The Milford Public Schools Music Department and Parents for Music group would like to congratulate our highly talented MPS Music students for acceptance into the CDMMEA Junior and Senior Festivals, and the MMEA All State Festival for 2025/2026.
The students were recently accepted into the CDMMEA Festivals for Chorus, Orchestra or Concert Band.
Participation in the festival is by audition only and offers the opportunity to work with guest conductors and students from other towns within the Central Massachusetts District. Students receiving an All State recommendation will have an opportunity to audition for the MMEA All State Concert.
We are very proud of all our dedicated music students. They have all worked very hard and practiced for many hours to prepare for these events.
