MYO and PSO Student Excellence!

50% of our MYO and PSO students qualified for Tennessee’s Mid-State Band or Orchestras, and 31% of our senior high students were accepted into the All-State Band or Orchestra this year! In addition, 25% of our eligible students (10th or 11 graders) have been selected for the prestigious Governor’s Schools of the Arts of Tennessee, which is held on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.

Quote

"As the MYO was playing the selections from "West Side Story," all I could think was, this group of kids are so darn good that they could play in the pit for a Broadway presentation of “WSS,” and no one would know that they’re not adult members of a musician’s union.”

Amy Johnson, mother of graduating trombonist Aaron Johnson
