On September 22, 2023, a tragic bus crash occurred in Orange County, New York, involving a charter bus carrying students from Farmingdale High Schools marching band, color guard, and dancers on their way to a camp in Greeley, Pennsylvania. The bus crashed on I-84 near the Orange County town of Wawayanda, killing two adults, including a music teacher at the high school, and injuring 18 others, including 16 students. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, but it is believed that a faulty front tire may have contributed to the accident. The Farmingdale community has come together to support the families and students affected by the tragedy, with grief counselors available at the school for students and staff.
