Band director Gina Pellettiere, 43, and the "grandmother of the band" Beatrice Ferrari, 77, were killed in the crash. The two victims were described as devoted Farmingdale High School teachers.
“What’s going to become of our band?” wondered a student.
“It’s been such a big part of my high school career. For our director not to be here anymore, it’s never something I would expect.”
