A pair of Brockport High School seniors will represent the Brockport Central School District in Albany on New York State School Music Association Day March 7. Ben Monacelli and Benji Wittman are two of only 24 selected statewide to perform for state legislators on this lobbying day in the state capital.
Monacelli and Wittman auditioned in the spring of 2015 and were selected as NYSSMA Conference All-State Vocal Jazz members as a tenor 2 and bass 1, respectively. They performed with the selective jazz ensemble at the Eastman Theatre on December 5.
Monacelli and Wittman will sing in a concert open to the public in Empire State Plaza the morning of March 7, then again at an invitation only event for legislators, NYSSMA members and school officials that evening. The boys will be accompanied by their mothers, in addition to Rachel Kluth, assistant to the superintendent for secondary instruction, and Liz Banner, high school music teacher.
