Representation from Maine
Gray – New Gloucester High School was represented by bassoonist, Kelcie Brown and clarinetist, Bryce Neal, with Samuel Hazo
On November 25th, Plymouth State University in Plymouth, NH hosted the All New England Band Festival, made up of outstanding instrumentalists from high schools throughout the northeast. Maine was well represented by students from Gray-New Gloucester, Windham, Lake Region, Telstar, Skowhegan, Chevrus, York, Sanford and Brunswick High Schools – a testament to the fine music educators in our state.
The evening concert began with a performance by the Plymouth State University Symphonic Band, under the direction of Mark Stickney, our festival host, followed by the Concert Band, conducted by composer Thomas Root, who is professor of music and director of bands at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. The Symphonic Band finished the evening, under the baton of composer Samuel R. Hazo.
