Parents, Families, and Friends,

We truly appreciate everything you do to support our students and organization. The Midway Band Backers proudly serve as the official support group for Midway Band & Guard students in grades 6–12. While membership is optional, we warmly welcome all parents, guardians, family members, and friends to join and get involved.

When you become a member, you’re doing more than joining an organization — you’re showing our students that their hard work matters. For just $40, your support helps create meaningful experiences, lasting memories, and opportunities they’ll carry with them for life. Every dollar goes directly toward programs and resources they count on, including:

• Supplemental funding for essential items not covered by the school district’s budget for all band and guard students to enjoy

• Providing financial support to students in need to help offset band and guard fees

• Expanded scholarships awarded to graduating seniors at our end-of-year banquet

NOTE: To be considered for the Midway Band Backer Scholarship awarded at the end-of-year banquet, seniors must have an immediate family member who is a current Midway Band Backers member.

Midway ISD Fine Arts Private Lesson Program

Supplemental individual private lessons are offered as enrichment to classroom instruction and are designed to utilize the broad scope of characteristic literature available for every instrument, voice or actor.  Rather than stress the singular goal of competition preparation, the emphasis instead is on nurturing the independent thinking and individual performance skills critical to the development of the maturing performer. Music private lessons focus on acquiring refined levels of sight-reading and technical proficiency in tandem with the attainment of an advanced sense of musical instinct and interpretation. Theatre private lessons give students an opportunity to build on fundamental acting skills and techniques while also working toward building a repertoire of monologues ready for auditions.
