LISTENING TO THE FUTURE

Posted May 1 at 1:17pm

The High School Wind and Jazz Ensembles traveled to Otisville Elementary School, treating fourth and fifth grade students and faculty to a concert.  Concert selections included Spongebob Squarepants and The Wizard of Oz.  In addition to concert pieces, high school students demonstrated the capabilities of specific instruments.  The elementary students experienced the high school students' musicality and professionalism.  This important event allowed elementary students to get a good understanding of what happens when they practice their instruments and progress through the band program.   The students and staff of Otisville extend their warmest appreciation to the high school band directors and their students for taking time to visit Otisville Elementary School.
