The good news from the 2015 Maine State Vocal Jazz Festival is that Ellsworth High School’s performance of Kander and Ebb tunes and the Middle School’s “Xanadu” received 1 (gold) ratings last weekend at Stearns High School. And, Sumner Memorial High School’s “Into the Woods” landed a 2 rating, coming within a hair’s breadth of the gold. Even better news was Mount Desert Island High School winning the state Division I championship with its stunning performance of “The Machine,” and that tiny Trenton School took second place out of eight finalists in the Middle School Division 2, with the Trentones’ terrific performance of “Matilda.”
