The final award is the E.B. Coleman Scholarship, named after a former band director at MHS. This $1000 scholarship is given to the student to shows leadership, musicianship, and passion for band. This year, there are two scholarship winners, who will each receive a $1000 scholarship.

This year's winners are:
  • Most Improved - Evan Mims
