The New "Instrumentarium" Serves Many

Waitsfield students regularly use the set of 15 xylophones, generously provided by our supportive PTA, to gain many valuable group and individual music experiences.

W.E.S. Music classes are composing their own songs.

Mr. Van Dine's class has started writing a song based on ideas they learned with Mr. Van about pre-revolutionary America. The working title to this one is "The Intolerable Acts".
