MHOF is saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Charles Stephens, former band director at Waltrip High School and recipient of the 2010 Mr. Holland’s Opus Teacher Award. Mr. Stephens, pictured far left at the MHOF award ceremony at Carnegie Hall, was a real-life Mr. Holland, inspiring hundreds of thousands of students throughout his tenure. In fact, the current directors of the Waltrip Ram Band, a two-time MHOF grant recipient, are all his former students. Our hearts are with his family, friends, community, and former students. #ThankYouMrStephens

We are excited to announce that $28,000 worth of instruments and accessories are on their way to Harshman Middle School in Indianapolis, IN! Principal Amy Moore shared her enthusiasm: “In alignment with our district’s goal of expanding and promoting instrumental music to our middle schoolers, this grant ensures that every child at Harshman Middle School has the opportunity to learn an instrument and thrive. The new instruments will provide our band with a stronger and more balanced sound, allowing us to perform more complex pieces.” #musiceducationmatters #Indianapolis #MHOF   Read the full article ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gcEAQRii  

Today is a momentous day at MHOF as we received our first donation of gently used instruments! Bob, who participated in school music programs beginning in the 4th grade, has a hobby of collecting and repairing used instruments. Reflecting on his motivation to donate to MHOF, Bob shares, "The clarinets were old and in need of love, so I gave them love, and they were revived." We are grateful for Bob's donation of five clarinets that will be distributed to local schools in need. #MusicEducationMatters #MHOF #Instruments #Recycle
