By Steve Gorman(Reuters) - A bus carrying members of a high school marching band on a trip to a music camp ran off a highway and tumbled down a steep ravine in New York state on Thursday, killing two people and injuring dozens of others, several of them severely. These high school students, many of them freshmen were surrounded by this chaos," Hochul said. Pellettiere was one of three advisers to the marching band, as well as the lone adviser to both the school's jazz and "pep" bands, the Farmingdale High School website shows. The New York State Police said in a posting on social media the westbound lanes of the highway were closed at that point. The bus had been carrying members of the high school band from the Long Island village of Farmingdale in Nassau County on a trip to a band camp in Greeley, Pennsylvania, officials said.
