East Islip High School saxophonist Casey Flad was recently chosen to participate in the SCMEA All-County Jazz Concert ensemble, where her talents were highlighted with a solo on Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” Flad is currently a member of East Islip’s concert band and studies Honors music theory.

“I really enjoyed SCMEA because I had an opportunity to grow in my jazz abilities,” Flad said. “We played a variety of great pieces and I was even selected to play a solo in our last piece. I had fun learning new techniques and playing with other kids from all across Long Island who enjoy performing as much as I do.”
