1/21/2023 - Greater Utica Honors Band 2023
On January 21, thirty-six total students from Whitesboro Middle School and High School performed in the Greater Utica Honors Middle School Concert Band (Grades six-eight) and Youth Wind Ensemble (Grades nine-12) at Westmoreland High School. The bands are composed of students from area school districts and they were selected based on teacher recommendation. Students rehearsed on three Saturdays prior to the concert.
Dr. Bradley Ethington of Syracuse University was the distinguished conductor of both the Honors Middle School Concert Band and the Youth Wind Ensemble. This was a rewarding opportunity for our students to work with a college professor. They worked very hard and enjoyed preparing for this memorable event!
Our congratulations go out to both groups on a stellar performance this year!
