Cheating on your spouse is no longer a crime in New York, with the repeal of a little-known 1907 lawCheating on your spouse is no longer a crime in New York, with the repeal of a little-known 1907 lawFor nearly 20 years, Wyandanch Memorial High School has never had a true marching band program. Now they do, and the young musicians are preparing to perform in a parade.
"I've been able to make new friends, it's a really nice environment,” says 10th grader Ana Pereira. Wyandanch Memorial High School's first marching band - the Wyandanch Marching Warriors - are rehearsing to perform in a Thanksgiving parade this Sunday in Connecticut.This is the first year the band began performing and competing in events. Many of these musicians only started playing their instrument last year. Some, just a few months ago.
"We're excited to represent the community and just to give the kids an opportunity to experience that,” says Nick Liddie, the school’s band director. Liddie became the school's band director last year. Under his leadership, the program has grown from 25 students to 85. "Having the band here changed the culture of the building," says Paul Sibblies, Wyandanch Memorial High School’s principal."Looking forward to seeing the crowd clap honestly. To me that's the best feeling after performing," says 10th grader Edwin Romero.
