Music Awards Celebration 2025! #207Now #musiceducation @mainewestband @mworchestras @mainewestchoir @mainewestfab

 

Last night’s Music Awards celebration was a powerful reminder of why the arts matter. We came together to honor the growth, dedication, and incredible talent of our band, choir, and orchestra students. Representatives from each grade level delivered heartfelt speeches, sharing how their experiences in the music program at West have shaped them and why it continues to mean so much.

The evening was filled with joy, pride, and inspiration. From awards for musicianship and leadership to creativity and spirit, each recognition reflected the passion our students bring to every rehearsal, performance, and collaboration. These awards weren’t just about achievement—they celebrated the vibrant community we’ve built through music.

Thank you to our amazing staff, families, and friends for your ongoing support. And to our students: thank you for lifting each other up and making our program stronger, bolder, and more joyful every single day. We’re so proud of you!

Music Awards Celebration Honors a Year of Achievement in the Band, Choir and Orchestra Programs #207Now #awards #community @mainewestband @mainewestchoir @mworchestras @mainewestfab

 

Tonight, music students, teachers and their families celebrated a year of achievement in the band, choir and orchestra programs at the 2024 Music Awards Celebration. The night was filled with acknowledgments of exceptional leadership, musicianship and spirit in the music program. Especially poignant were the speeches by the students, all of which spoke to what the music program means to them, and why it is such an important part of their lives. Perspectives from freshmen through seniors were shared, and it was evident that - no matter where a student is on their journey - their experience in the music program is a significant part of making them who they are and helping them to achieve their goals.

Enjoy the speech given by Addison Stutheit below:
