MARLBOROUGH – Jackson Clemons, a senior at Marlborough High School, earned the top score on tuba for the 2023 All State Music Festival.
The Marlborough Public Schools Music Department is proud to share that as the number one tuba player in the state and a member of the All-State Orchestra, Jackson will perform with 500 of the most talented student musicians from across the state.
Jackson will take center stage at Symphony Hall in Boston on Saturday, March 4.
As a hardworking, passionate musician, Jackson consistently demonstrates the qualities strived for at Marlborough High School.
Introduced to the tuba in the fifth grade, Jackson quickly earned recognition by being selected to the Central District Junior Festival in both seventh and eighth grade years and continuing that success throughout high school, by being selected to the Central District Senior Festival in his sophomore, junior and finally his senior year. Additionally, he was selected into the All-State Festival during his junior and senior year. In college, Jackson plans to major in Architecture and minor in Music Performance.
Congratulations to Jackson Clemons and the entire Music Department.

AS MANY in the City will take off for February vacation, are you going to be left behind? Have you considered a staycation spent at home and going on day trips. Museum passes are available for many area attractions at the Marlborough Public Library. For some, staying overnight in a Marlborough hotel could be a great solution. The pool would be like the one you would find at a distant destination. You don’t need to go far to feel like you got away.

THE MARLBOROUGH HISTORICAL SOCIETY will present “No Irish Need Apply” on Tuesday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m., at the Peter Rice Homestead, 377 Elm St.
The presentation will be given by Christopher Daley, a history teacher in the Silver Lake Regional School System in Kingston, Mass. Daley was formerly the president of the Pembroke Historical Society and chairman of the Pembroke Historical Commission. He was also a docent at the John Alden House Historical Site. He has written several articles on varied historical topics for local publications. His first book is entitled “Murder and Mayhem in Boston: Historic Crimes in the Hub.”
“No Irish Need Apply” will cover the massive wave of immigration to Boston after the Potato Famine and the assimilation into the American culture. It will also take a look at the scant evidence there is of the Irish who were brought over unwillingly as indentured servants in the late 17th century.
