For immediate release

WRENTHAM — Superintendent Paul Zinni and the King Philip Regional Music Department are pleased to announce that 24 King Philip Regional High School students were accepted to attend the Southeastern District Music Festival next month. 

Students from across Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod were invited to audition for the festival virtually until Nov. 20.

This year, the Southeastern District Music Festival is virtual and will take place from Jan. 8 to 9. The festival will include workshops, masterclasses, rehearsals and other activities. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a virtual ensemble led by guest conductors. 

The following students were invited to attend the Southeastern District Music Festival. Students with an asterisk (*) after their name also received recommendations to audition for the All-State ensembles: 

Seniors: Nick Basile, percussion; Camryn Buckley, alto*; Ava Cardner, trumpet*; Declan Derfler-Murphy, trumpet*; Hayden Holster, alto saxophone*; Maddie Soares, flute*

Juniors: Matthew Beatty, bass*; Madison Blood, baritone saxophone*; Joe Cannon, tuba*; Jonathan Cohen, trumpet; Hannah Crocker, alto*; Julia DeWitt, alto*; Abigail Jones, bassoon*; Diego Nieto, trombone*; Emily Poggi, soprano*; Aleeza Rana, soprano; Nick Sekulski, guitar*

Sophomores: Helena Bekele, soprano; Aedan Derfler-Murphy, alto saxophone*; Finny Keefe, horn*

Freshmen: Ella Brown, harp*; Dean Cardner, trumpet*; Jack Chisholm, clarinet; Eliot Davis, clarinet*

“I want to extend my congratulations to all of the students accepted into this competitive music festival,” Superintendent Zinni said. “I am so proud of all our young musicians, including those recommended to audition for the All-State ensembles. The All-State Band, Jazz Band, Orchestra and Choir are comprised of the most outstanding high school musicians in the state and these students should be extremely honored to be considered.”

Auditions for the All-State ensemble will take place in January as well. 

Additionally, the King Philip Music Department is introducing a new Alumni Series for students. The series will include a variety of workshops and performances featuring King Philip graduates who have pursued a career in music.

The upcoming dates for the Alumni Series are as follows: 

  • Monday, Dec. 14 at  5:30 p.m. Nick Beltramini ’19 and his jazz combo, Slightly Tooned, will present a performance on how to assemble your own jazz combo.
  • Thursday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. Allison Parramore, Class of 2007, will present a flute masterclass and performance.

“We are so excited to give our students the chance to attend the Alumni Series for the first time ever,” Band Director Keough said. “This year, due to COVID-19 almost all of our normal musical events and ensembles were cancelled or substantially altered. This series will give our students the unique opportunity to learn from and engage with many alumni who have pursued careers in music.”
