John Philip Sousa Award
The John Philip Sousa Award is given to the top student in a high school band program who demonstrates superior musicianship, leadership, loyalty and dependability. I earned this award both my junior and senior years of high school, and it is rare to be awarded once, and even more rare to be awarded twice.
