Seneca-Tompkins Music Education Association's All-County Band STEMA's All-County Band Festival was able to return for the first time this year since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
This year’s festival took place at Lansing Middle School on November 18th and 19th. Participating districts included Dryden, Groton, Ithaca, Lansing, Newfield, South Seneca, and Trumansburg. The students who were selected to attend this year's festival worked with guest conductors from Ithaca College during the festival weekend and presented a concert on the afternoon of November 19th.
These students all spent many hours after school hours preparing their music for their honors band rehearsals and performance.
The following students participated in the High School Honor Band:
Tajade Amisano (Alto Saxophone, 10th), Ruth Dendis (French Horn, 10th), and Abigail Sherry (Percussion, 11th).

Both High School Garden Lit classes participated in New York Agriculture in the Classroom's Mac & Cheese Innovation Challenge this week.
Here is the description from NY Agriculture: "With cheese taking the starring role in this favorite food, we find ourselves lucky to live in New York where so many delicious cheese varieties are produced. The dairy industry is the largest agricultural sector in the state and makes more than one billion pounds of all cheeses annually. Around 15 billion pounds of milk are produced on nearly 3,600 farms across the Empire State, making New York the 5th largest dairy producing state in the nation."
South Seneca students received a great assortment of spices from NY Ag in the Classroom, a cutting board, two measuring cups, and a mac & cheese idea book. Each of the classes have come up with their own recipes (it has to be an original recipe) and will now have to come up with a marketing slogan for their mac & cheese version.
On today's menu: Buffalo Chicken Mac n' Cheese Pie! And it was soooo tasty!
South Seneca Central School District currently has an opening for a Full-Time High School Math Teacher.
