Jazz Combo Earns Gold
Congratulations to the PRHS Jazz Combo for earning a Gold Medal
at the Massachusetts Association for Jazz Education Jazz Combo Competition!
This event was open to jazz combos throughout Massachusetts. In
addition, ALL FOUR of our student members were recognized with Outstanding
Musicianship Awards! We were the only group in the competition to earn
such significant recognition. Our Gold Medal entitles us to a performance
spot in the MAJE Jazz Showcase Concert at the Hatch Shell on the Boston
Esplanade on May 13th. This honor, combined with our
1st place finish on the national level at the Berklee College of Music Jazz
Festival (where we also earned 2 of the 3 Outstanding Musician Awards handed out
in our division), represents our most successful competition season in the 12
years the program has been in existence. I could not be more proud to
share this information and recognize Jazz Combo members: Josh Torvi -
guitar, Joe D'Amore - piano, Duncan Tarr - bass, and Eddie Gaudet - drums, for
their tremendous accomplishments.
