Congratulations, Aeneas Strozier!

Aeneas Strozier, a junior at the Hamilton/Wenham Regional High School, is this year's double bass player in the Massachusetts All-State Ensemble.

The All-State Ensemble is made up of the finest musicians in the Commonwealth as determined by audition. Not only did Aeneas get accepted, but as there is only one bass player in the ensemble (as opposed to 10 trumpets accepted), it's a demonstrable fact that Aeneas is the best jazz bassist in the entire state. FOTA was happy to provide a mini-grant to cover the fees for his participation.

Aeneas makes the school proud, and we wish him great success and wonderful memories as he takes part in this year's All-State Jazz Band.
