Hellertown, PA -- We are thrilled to celebrate Ryan Pakzad for advancing to State Choir!
What’s Next?
The journey doesn't stop here. Ryan will soon move on to:
-
Re-auditioning: He ranked second in Region 5 and will perform once more to determine his final state-wide ranking.
-
The Big Reveal: Final rankings will be officially announced on the first night of the 2026 All-State Festival, which is set for April 22-25 at Kalahari Resort in Monroe County.
Representing Saucon Valley
Ryan’s success is no accident. Choir Director Lauren Sakasitz says his work ethic, musicianship, and natural talent truly represent the very best of the Saucon Valley community. "We are so proud of him."
Congratulations, Ryan! We are all rooting for you at States!
