The band at Paradise Honors High School, 12775 N. 175th Ave., Surprise, was honored as the monthly winner of Fulton Homes’ School Salute program.
Under the direction of band director Michael Myers, the program received a $1,000 check from the local home builder and longtime community steward.
The Paradise Honors Schools Instrumental Music Program allows for students to enrich the community through positive and culturally rich musical experiences. In its second year, the program has grown to include 6th to 12th grade performance groups.
District students have the opportunity to participate in percussion ensemble, guitar ensemble, and high school and middle school concert bands and drumlines. The 25-member PHHS band has performed at a Diamondbacks game and high school football games.
Fulton Homes’ School Salute recognizes local middle and high school music programs that submit their rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” For the ninth consecutive year, Fulton has partnered with 94.5 KOOL FM for its School Salute program.
Each week, a winner is chosen to have their performance played on KOOL FM at noon each day. At the end of each month, one of the weekly winners will be awarded a $1,000 check from Fulton Homes.
“By supporting the musical departments in our local schools, we can continue to help develop and encourage the musical passions of these young, talented students,” Fulton Homes CEO Doug Fulton stated in a news release.
To enter the contest, schools can call 94.5 KOOL FM at 602-452-1000 and schedule a time for them to come in and record their music program. To listen to the bands perform the National Anthem, tune in to 94.5 KOOL FM every day at noon.
