WHEELS music students in 8th-12th grades played three concerts in a row Thursday, Friday and Saturday. First was Capital One's holiday party, next was our annual College March, and last was Synpulse's holiday party. We're very proud of our music students' professional and creative performances, and of all our seniors we celebrated at the College March!

Thanks to Access Orpheus, WHEELS music students got to see the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra perform at Carnegie Hall yesterday evening.

On Friday we received a drum set courtesy of VH1 Save The Music! We are very grateful for all the support we receive from our partner organizations.

On Wednesday 6th-8th grade WHEELS band students performed at our first middle grades awards ceremony of the school year. It was many of our 6th and 7th graders' first performance! We're very proud of our band students and all of the students that received awards for academics and character.

Last Friday WHEELS band students were fortunate enough to perform for a live studio and television audience at the Johnny Pacheco Latin Music and Jazz Festival at Lehman College. They performed "La Murga," "Oye Como Va," and "El Cuarto De Tula," and received positive and helpful feedback from Dr. Kurt Gartner. Thank you to Mr. Allan Molnar for organizing the festival and inviting WHEELS to perform for the second year in a row!

Last night WHEELS music students performed at the National Honor Society induction ceremony for WHEELS high school students. Congratulations to all of our new inductees!

Middle and high school WHEELS band students performed at our National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony today. Congratulations to all of our middle school students that were inducted into NJHS!

Thank you to Orpheus Chamber Orchestra for inviting us to their rehearsal this afternoon! In addition to listening to beautiful music by Mendelssohn and Schumann, WHEELS music students got to meet many of the musicians and ask questions.
