NYSSMA Majors
Congratulations to Mr. Eckfeld and students in the WPHS Honors String Ensemble for receiving a Gold with Distinction at the NYSSMA Majors ensemble on May 17, 2013. Not only did they receive the highest possible rating, but they performed at level VI, which is the most difficult repertoire they could have performed. Well Done!!!
