A Few Clouds East Meadow Jets Marching Band earns top nod
The East Meadow School District announced the East Meadow High School’s Jets Marching Band captured first place in New York City’s 79th annual Columbus Day Parade on Oct. 9.
The Jets wore green ribbons on their uniforms in support of the Farmingdale Marching Band.
“The band world is a very small and tight knit community, and we all have strong ties to Band Director Gina Pellettiere and the music staff at Farmingdale High School,” said Stephen Engle, East Meadow High School’s chairman of music.
“Together we stand with our friends and the entire Farmingdale community as we mourn the loss of Gina, Beatrice Ferrari and pray for all of those affected by this tragedy.”
The district congratulated the Jets Marching Band for their success in the Columbus Day parade and looks forward to a fantastic remainder of the season.
