The Whitman band show was wonderful! All the bands from around Long Island were terrific. After the show ended, the seniors were honored and then the Whitman kids did their show again for the parents, many of whom were unable to see the show because they were busy selling, doing security or whatever during the regular program.
Hat tip to Mr. Vecchiano, the director, and all the parents and staff who really worked hard to make the show succeed.
Some Honor Society kids were there to help out, which was nice, and the ground crews, maintenance and security people were all great. And of course, the tireless principal, Jim Polansky, was there for the entire production.
It was also was great that Suffolk County legislator Lou D'Amaro showed up to congratulate the bands. He also took out big ads in the journal congratulating the bands that are in his district.
It's unfortunate that there weren't more public officials there--lots of voters certainly turned out and it would have been really terrific to see a few more officeholders. Oh, well.
Today, we're off to Huntington for an afternoon show.
