SPHS Jazz Bands awarded festival honors 

South Portland High School’s jazz combos and ensembles garnered several awards at the Maine High School Instrumental Jazz Festival. Hosted by Nokomis High School on March 16 and 17, the event brought schools from across the state to a two-day festival of music and competition.

Competing in small combos and large ensembles, students were adjudicated by professional jazz musicians and educators. Under an adjudicated system, which awards gold (95 or above), silver (90-94) and bronze (85-89) medals to bands for achieving appropriate scores, the first day of performances saw both the South Portland High School Jazz Band II and Combo B, under the direction of Craig Skeffington, awarded silver medals. Receiving an Outstanding Musicianship Award for Jazz Band II was Eric George on piano, and receiving the Dale Huff Outstanding Musicianship Award for Combo B on trumpet was Sam Withers. Earlier in the day, Combo A was awarded a gold medal and honored Thomas Costin with an Outstanding Musicianship award on piano.

Living up to stellar jazz performances in the past, the SPHS Jazz Ensemble was awarded a gold medal for their performance and two musicianship awards on the second day of the festival. Recognized for an Outstanding Musicianship Award on trombone was Max Saffer-Meng and awarded the Dale Huff Outstanding Musicianship Award on piano was Thomas Costin.
