Seniors in Midway High School’s band and orchestra programs were awarded one of the top distinctions for high school musicians in Texas.

For the 15th consecutive year, Midway ISD is being honored as one of the Best Communities in the nation for music education.

Midway and River Valley Middle School choir, orchestra, and band earned an impressive array of awards at recent UIL Concert and Sight-Reading competitions this spring, with 11 out of the 14 music groups who competed across both campuses earning sweepstakes awards, which is the highest honor available.

After completing the rigorous All-State audition process, two Midway High School students are among the highest-ranking orchestra students in the state.

Once again, Midway ISD is among the Best Communities in the nation for music education. For the 14th year in a row, the district’s commitment to music education is being recognized by the NAMM Foundation as part of the Best Communities for Music Education award program.

This year, three Midway High School Orchestra students earned the prestigious honor of being named Texas All-State Musicians, which is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive.
