Frisco Mayor Maher Maso recognized two Frisco ISD middle schools for their honors from the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA).

Maso proclaimed September 30 as “Clark Middle School Symphonic Band Day” and “Fowler Middle School String Orchestra Day” in the City of Frisco.

The Clark Symphonic Band was selected as the 2014 Texas Middle School 2C Honor Band, the first time that a Frisco ISD middle or high school band has won the prestigious award.

The Fowler String Orchestra was honored as the 2014 Texas Middle School Honor Orchestra, just one year after the full orchestra, including members of the symphonic band and symphonic orchestra, was named the 2013 Texas Middle School Honor Full Orchestra.

They are the highest honors that a middle school band or orchestra can achieve in the state of Texas.

In issuing his formal proclamations, Maso encouraged all citizens to congratulate students and teachers for their dedication, determination and outstanding accomplishments.

Both the Clark Symphonic Band and Fowler String Orchestra will play in February 2014 at the TMEA Convention in San Antonio.
