Congratulations to our seniors who marched in our annual College March last Friday! Band students helped them celebrate with jazz and salsa tunes.

Thanks to our friends at Booker T. Washington Middle School for a great jam session yesterday! We played standards like "So What," "Blue Bossa," "Ran Kan Kan" and "Work Song."

This weekend WHEELS band students performed at Scribble Art Workshop's exhibition at the American Academy of Arts and Letters. It was an honor to play at a beautiful venue surrounded by incredible art by people of all ages. It was also great to have one of our alumni, Saudy Familia, sit in with the band. We are very fortunate to have him coaching our band students.

We are very proud of our Pre-K through 3rd graders for presenting their work from movement, art and music classes in our Winter Arts Showcase last Friday!

Sixth and seventh grade band students performed for the first time this school year on Wednesday. Many of the sixth graders just started playing their instruments in September, and they already are playing and improvising over standards like "Afro Blue" and "Second Line!"

Thank you to Harlem Stage and Soul Science for engaging WHEELS middle school band students in an inspiring, interactive hip hop concert today!

On Friday 8th-12th grade WHEELS band students performed at the Lehman College Latin Music and Jazz Festival. They received excellent feedback from Jim Mair and got to participate in workshops with Aldo Mazza and Wally Barrett!
