Band Award Presented to Stephanie Hoff (Band Arion Award - 2016)
Band Arion Award Presented to Stephanie Hoff
Thorp High School band director Dawn Anderson handed out many awards to her students for various accomplishments in band from throughout the year, and ending the presentations, she awarded one senior one of the band’s highest honors - the Arion Award - during the 2016 spring POPS concert and awards ceremony on Monday, April 25.
This award is given to a student who contributes to their scholastic standing or musical organization, while demonstrating personal and professional performing ability. Anderson chose senior Stephanie Hoff, for exemplifying all of the honor’s criteria.
The Arion Award is the oldest and most prestigious national award for outstanding achievement by high school musicians. Established in 1948 as a way to recognize achievement in band, orchestra, or chorus, the award honors students who contribute to a high scholastic standing and demonstrate personal and professional performing ability and musicianship that pair with Thorp High School’s standards.
