F-M High School music teacher Peter Guarino recently volunteered to serve as Orchestra Chairperson for the New York State School Music Association’s (NYSSMA) 89th annual Conference All-State in Rochester. Guarino was among ten Chairpersons to help lead elite student musicians, including twelve from F-M. The students rehearsed and performed at venues like the Eastman Theatre and Rochester Riverside Convention Center. 

Thank you for supporting our students and others across the state!
