#PointerNation is very excited to share that our own Mr. Matt Nevers (Middle/High School Band Teacher) was inducted to the prestigious John Philip Sousa Foundation The Bandworld Legion of Honor!
This national award, established in 1989, recognizes just eight of the best band directors in the entire country each year!
Award recipients have taught for at least 15 years, have maintained a very high quality concert band program, and have contributed significantly to the profession through dedication to bands and band music.
Mr. Nevers received this honor at the Midwest International Band & Orchestra Conference in Chicago, IL in December. This conference brings together more than 18,000 attendees from all 50 states and more than 40 countries.
“My philosophy is to cultivate independent, confident musicians who carry a lifelong love of music and the ability to contribute meaningfully to musical communities beyond the classroom,” said Nevers.
Congratulations and thanks for all you do for our young people!
