Our Elementary Band, 7/8 Band and Senior High School Bands performed an outstanding concert on Wednesday, February 4th. As is the tradition of the Festival, a guest conductor is invited to work with our students in preparation for the concert and then conduct a few pieces with them during the concert. Our guest conductor was Anthony Joseph.
Mr. Joseph is a retired music teacher whose career lasted 33 years. He taught in the Oswego School District, Schenectady School District and the Maine-Endwell School District.
He received the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra's 2006 Outstanding Instrumental Music Teacher award. Mr. Joseph and his students were featured on Teachers of the Week sponsored by WIXT. He holds several memberships in many music organizations.
We were honored to have him join us and our students for this festival. Thank you Mr. Joseph! He completed his compliments of our instrumental program by saying, "You come here to Marcellus and make beautiful music with beautiful children.
Each band performed a few pieces individually and then, as tradition, concluded with the Marcellus March, composed by John Edmondson. BRAVO!
Congratulations to all our students, Mr. Costa and Mrs. Turner who performed magnificently! It was truly an amazing concert with many talented students!
