The Pioneer High School Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Mrs. April Woolley, competed at the NYSSMA Majors on April 29 at Springville G-I High School.
Mrs. Wooley said, "This is the first time that the wind ensemble has competed at this level. This group is one of the best groups I have ever had. They prepared a level 5 program and received a bronze rating. The students prepared three level 5 pieces and were assessed by two judges over 45 minutes. The feedback that they received will help them all become better musicians.
"I am so proud of them," she said "They have really put in the time and effort to prepare this music to the highest level.
