ARION AWARD

The Arion award, named after the Greek god of music and poetry, is prestigious in that many colleges recognize it as a symbol of excellence. 

 

The Arion award is chosen each year by the members of the Edwardsville High School orchestra program. The students vote on an outstanding junior to receive this award. Then the following year, the recipient will perform a solo with the orchestra on the final concert in May.

 

The Arion Award recipient should have exhibited the following characteristics over the course of his/her time in the Edwardsville High School orchestra program:

 

• Better than average scholastic standing

• Cooperation over and above normal duties in the orchestra program

• General musicianship and performance skills

• Attendance at school and after school rehearsals

• Ambition, diligence, loyalty and cooperation

• Inspiration to others in the orchestra

• Personal habits and a high standard of conduct

• Qualified to carry on the best traditions of the school

• Leadership qualities

• Dedication to the entire orchestra program at Edwardsville High School

 

The Arion award recipient must remain enrolled in the Edwardsville High School orchestra program until graduation.  This award will be relinquished should the recipient drop orchestra.

NSOA DIRECTOR'S AWARD

The Director’s Award is given each year to an outstanding senior orchestra member. It is the highest honor bestowed upon a member of the high school orchestra to recognize excellence in playing and contributions to the ensemble. The student is chosen because they helped make the Edwardsville High Orchestra program better through his or her contributions.
