Congratulations to White Plains High School Junior Ailsa Patel, who qualified for the 2026 All-State orchestra! Ailsa will represent WPHS as a violist at the NYSSMA All-State music conference in Rochester this December, surrounded by the top-scoring high school musicians from all over New York State. Ailsa earned a place in the orchestra with a perfect score of 100 on her performance of Rebecca Clarke's Viola Sonata at the NYSSMA solo festival last spring. She is pictured here with WPHS orchestra teachers Zachary May and Joanna Smulakowski.
