On Thursday, April 30th, the Ashford Jazz Band participated in the Colchester Jazz Festival. The 19 member, select group performed 3 charts including Moondance, Georgia on My Mind and Jericho. The band's hard work and dedication showed as they sailed through all 3 pieces. Their focus and energy was impressive and all soloists did an impecible job. In addition to earning a Silver rating, three members were recognized for individual "Outstanding Musicianship" Paul Ference (8th Grade, alto sax), Josh LeBrun (8th grade, trumpet) and Justin Gagnon (7th grade, trombone) were selected for this honor. Congratulations to these three boys and all the Jazz Band members for their hard work and dedication. I am very proud of all of you!
