The Marcus Whitman field band, directed by Ms. Balter, earned fifth place in the small school section of the State Championship. Ms. Balter said that she wished for better results next time around. However, fifth in the small school division of the entire state is a good job for any competition.

Ms. Balter has been teaching for over fifteen years and at Whitman for about ten. She says she enjoys teaching the kids and said that they are great. There are forty eight students in the Marcus Whitman field band. She explained that her best teaching experience was in 2005 when the band played a Roman show and they won the Governor’s Cup, which made them State Champs.

The field band pushed hard this year and made a good impression on the State and small school bands all around New York. The band showed everyone in the state that Whitman doesn’t mess around, they are serious, and they mean business. With the band so close to victory, the hope is that the band destroys competition next year and brings home the State Championship title.
