Join us on March 12 at 7 p.m. for a special evening of music as the Sutherland Wind Ensemble performs the world premiere of a newly commissioned piece, “WINKS!”
The work was commissioned in loving memory of Tom Indiano, beloved former Sutherland High School band teacher and saxophonist who passed away this past summer. Rochester-based composer and bandleader Joey Stempien created the tribute piece specifically for the ensemble.

Pittsford Schools has only received a 1% average increase in Foundation Aid over the past couple of years. With the consumer price index for public education expenses rising an average of 3%, this leaves PCSD with a $1.5 million budget gap.
Please consider writing to Governor Hochul to improve Foundation Aid to levels that will at least provide the promised adequate educational funding.
A sample advocacy letter and the Governor’s contact information can be found at www.PittsfordSchools.org/Advocacy
