“I've been in the band program at West Hempstead since fourth grade,” Zoe said, adding that band has been “one of the most amazing experiences” she’s had in high school. She noted the ensemble has performed at community events including the homecoming march and football games, and that students have had opportunities to travel for performances and competitions and to win awards and trophies.
