ENMU Band Director's Hall of Fame

Background and Purpose

Established in April 2019, the ENMU Band Director's Hall of Fame recognizes retired high school, middle school or elementary school band directors who have demonstrated excellence in the field of instrumental music education over a sustained period.

Each year, the ENMU Band Director Workshop invites public school band directors and hosts an esteemed clinician/conductor on campus for clinic sessions and a formal concert. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held during the culminating concert, generally scheduled for the first Sunday of the month of March at 3 p.m. in Buchanan Hall.

The plaque and photo gallery for the ENMU Band Director's Hall of Fame is located in the Floren Thompson Jr. Band Hall in the Music Building (MB), Room 136.
