High School Music Student Award Program
and Howard County Public School Partnership
Public School System Educational Partnership
Since 2014, when HCPSS Educational Partnerships were formalized, Sundays At Three has been a partner and collaborated with the school system to support its mission of fostering a lifelong appreciation of, enthusiasm for, and participation in music classes.
The Sundays At Three High School Music Student Award Program, which began in 2009, predated formal HCPSS Educational Partnerships, and continues as our primary contribution to the program.
Coaching and other classroom instructional services, given at the request of the music instructional facilitator and music teachers, at 1-2 elementary or middle schools is our second partnership activity.
Sundays At Three also supports concert attendance assignments through its policy of free admission to high school students with or without a paying adult.
High School Music Student Award Program
Sundays At Three established its annual music student award program in 2009 in cooperation with the band and orchestra teachers in the 12 Howard County public high schools.
Although the program began with one award to a rising senior in the orchestra or band per school, it now may recognize one from the orchestra and one from the band. Each teacher determines whether any of the rising seniors are deemed worthy of special recognition for participation in small ensemble performance classes. Members of the Sundays@3 Board of Directors present the award to the winners during a June orchestra and/or band class at each school. The award consists of a certificate, $100, and free admission to concerts during the upcoming season for the parents of the winners.
In addition, the award winners and other rising senior orchestra and band members are eligible for jobs to assist us at the concerts during their senior year.
