Broadneck Musicians Among Three Students Chosen For Regional Ensembles

Three Anne Arundel County Public Schools musicians, including two from Broadneck High School, have earned spots in the 2025 Eastern Division Honor Music Ensembles, providing them with the opportunity to showcase their talents alongside some of the East Coast’s best musicians and vocalists.

Broadneck’s Cade Long was chosen for the commercial band. Fellow Bruin Hadley Dodson made the list for mixed chorus, as did Meade High School student Citlalli Garcia-Ramirez.

“Maryland is only given 5% of the student allocations for the Eastern Division Honor Ensembles, so it’s an incredible honor to have not just one but three students from our school system be selected to participate,” said AACPS Coordinator of Music Jessica Valadie. “We couldn’t be prouder of the hard work and dedication each one of these students has shown in order to achieve this prestigious accomplishment.”

The ensembles will rehearse in Hartford, Connecticut, from April 24-27 and will present concerts that are open to the public from April 26-27 at The Bushnell Performing Arts Center in Hartford.
