WPHS Orchestra students got an amazing surprise on their field trip to NY Philharmonic.
WPHS Orchestra students got an amazing surprise on their field trip to NY Philharmonic. They were on a lawn across the street from Juilliard just before the concert when Juilliard President Damian Woetzel spotted the group from his office. The video attached shows him teaching our students some ballet steps. A few minutes later, Mr. Woetzel crossed the street, greeted the students, and told them the story of the ballet from which the steps were taken. What a memorable start to our field trip.
