Port Jefferson Music Students Participate in Annual SCMEA Day of Tuba and Euphonium Festival

Four talented Port Jefferson Middle School band students—Talia Affronti, Mason King Davis, Mallory Rickhard, and Andrew Weinisch—proudly represented the district at the SCMEA Day of Tuba and Euphonium Festival.

This annual event brought together tuba and euphonium students from across Suffolk County for an inspiring musical experience. Participants had the opportunity to perform alongside world-renowned tuba virtuoso Hiram Diaz, a distinguished member of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. Throughout the evening, students collaborated, rehearsed, and performed in an ensemble that highlighted the depth of musical talent within the region.

“The SCMEA festival offers an exceptional experience for our young musicians,” said Dr. Michael Caravello, Director of Music and Fine Arts. “Performing with an artist of Hiram Diaz’s caliber is truly motivating and unforgettable for our students. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and musicianship.”
