The All Island Junior High Band, consisting of seventh and eighth grade band students from across the Island, received a gold medal at the Great East Music Festival held on May 4 in Western Massachusetts.

The students performed three pieces for the judges: Highlights from Pirates of the Caribbean, Am I wrong, and New Era Fanfare. The judges were extremely impressed with the quality of sound the students created, and the excitement they brought to their performance. The band is under the direction of Ruth Scudere-Chapman and Kelly Sullivan.
