Spectators were thrilled by the sights and sounds of marching arts on Saturday at the Albany Indoor Percussion Ensemble’s home show at Albany High School.
The event featured six competing ensembles – five visiting schools that competed and three exhibition performances (including the University at Albany’s Spirit Band and the UAlbany Winter Guard). The day also featured a spotlight of the 15 Albany High seniors in the Indoor Percussion Ensemble.
Albany Indoor Percussion Ensemble is made up of City School District of Albany students in grades 6-12 who simultaneously play a range of percussion instruments, march, dance and perform theater.
Congratulations and terrific work by seniors Anna Baldes, Robert Berry, Simon Carey, Sonja DePiro, Renee Geraghty, Nora Gordon, Alanna Kaye, Meski Kelle, Jacob Levine, Issah Marisco VonLutz, Nathan Martel, Isabella Scaringe, Owen Sears, Angeline Thompson and Bessa Wells-Rice.
And kudos to alum Nathaniel Wheeler (’24), who came back to his alma mater and provided these photographs of the event!
