Berklee High School Jazz Festival Report!
The Waynflete Upper School Jazz Ensemble & Jazz Combo recently spent two nights in Massachusetts in order to attend the Berklee College of Music 46th Annual High School Jazz Festival in Boston. The 2014 Berklee festival was the largest of its kind in the United States with 128 participating schools from 13 states. The Waynflete Jazz Combo finished ahead of all Maine schools in its division and settled into 8th place (out of 13) in an extremely competitive field with schools from as far away as Idyllwild, California!
