Senior Awards

Every year, the Murphy High School Band gives three awards to senior band members:

Most Improved Band Member is the award given to a senior who had the most growth as a musician over their four years in the MHS Band.

The John Philip Sousa Award is an internationally-recognized award that "recognizes superior musicianship and outstanding dedication" to music and band. 

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
• John Philip Sousa - Griffin Noble
• E.B. Coleman Scholarship - Caitlyn Bailey & Alaina Turnbow
