LIBRARY/VERY IMPORTANT: We will continue to maintain an all-digital library in 2025-2026. All performing members and subs are responsible to download/print (or download to a iPad or similar device) and bring these parts to all rehearsals. Hard copies of parts will not be distributed. See my August 31 post regarding the two ForScore clinics we are offering to help acclimate new iPad users.

OUR NEW REHEARSAL SITE: The All-Purpose Room (APR)
Lower School Building, Hackley School

  • Bring a music stand if your WSW property stand is at home. If you left your WSW stand in the APR on July 1, then you can use that stand, stored on the basement level with the percussion.
  • Our own WSW Wenger chairs were moved to the APR and we’ll be using them. 
  • The school is located at 293 Benedict Avenue, Tarrytown, NY 10591. Pull in the school entrance, drive up the hill past the PAC parking lot, and take the left fork. Drive past the Allen Center and up the hill, continuing around the bend. The Lower School will be the next building on your right. Parking is directly across the road from the building.
  • Enter via the center door beneath the underhang.
  • Go to the right and up the stairs to the APR.
  • Please do not use the elevator, as the percussionists will be moving all their equipment up from the basements in the elevator.
