Pure Gold!
Congratulations to the 2014-2015 Honors String Ensemble for their Gold rating at the 2015 NYSSMA Major Ensemble Adjudication Festival !!!
The WPHS Honors String Ensemble performed in the Level VI repertoire category at the festival held at Fox Lane High School in Bedford, NY. This category represents the most difficult works available to high school students in the competition. The Gold rating, the highest rating category possible, was the result of months of hard work and fine tuning. The Judges' comments reflected appreciation for the high level of musicianship, rhythmic accuracy, and expressive phrasing of the music throughout the performance.
