Brownwood High School Concert Band performed their Spring Concert on Tuesday, May 1st and presented awards and scholarships to some outgoing seniors.
Natalie Mayo, Karissa Means and Brock Allen were awarded the Phillip Trowbridge Band Scholarship in the amount of $500 each. Band booster president Rita Dodson presented the scholarships and stated that each year two scholarships are typically awarded, but this year the three applicants were all so deserving the boosters expanded the number to three.
Karissa Means received the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award and Brock Allen was presented the John Phillips Sousa Award.
