Sanford High School’s marching band continued its stellar season with an award-winning performance at the USBands invitational held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst on Saturday, September 28th. Invited to the invitational last spring, Sanford’s marching band competed in Division III Class A. The band secured first place in their division and swept all available caption awards in best music, best percussion, best effect, best visual, and best colorguard. “The students had a great performance, and it was such a great opportunity to see other programs,” SHS Music Director Hailey Francoeur said. “The students handled the large venue really well, as we’ve never played in a stadium that large. It was so impressive how they handled the day with confidence.” The UMass Amherst show featured over 15 bands from various parts of New England, with Sanford High School representing Maine as the sole band from the state. USBands, a national marching band circuit, hosts competitions throughout the country, providing young musicians with opportunities to showcase their talents on a grand scale.

Sanford High School wrestling coach Nate Smith has been selected as the 2023-2024 National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) State Wrestling Coach of the Year for Maine. Coach Smith’s selection comes from a competitive pool of wrestling coaches across the state. Smith led the Spartans to a third-place finish at the 2024 Class A South Regional Championships. “I’m honored and humbled to be recognized,” Smith said. “I am blessed to coach with an amazing assistant, Brent Coleman. My wrestlers give everything, every day, to make our community and our program look good. They are the real reason why we get any recognition.” “Sanford High School is extremely fortunate to have Nate Smith as our wrestling coach,” SHS Athletic Director Zach Lemelin said. “He does a tremendous job of coaching the sport and creating lifelong connections with our student-athletes in more than just wrestling. He is an asset to the athletics department and an even greater one to our wrestling community.” As the Maine Coach of the Year, Smith is now eligible for consideration as the Section 1 Wrestling Coach of the Year, competing with top coaches from seven other states. This selection could lead to a nomination for the National Coach of the Year award.
