There will always be a debate about which football program is the best in Deep East Texas, but the debate about who has the better music program has been decided for years.

The Nacogdoches Independent School District has won its third straight National Association of Music Merchants Award. The NAMM award goes to schools with the best communities for music education.

The NAMM Foundation celebrates and promotes the value of music education. They awarded 738 school districts nationwide with this designation. Nacogdoches was the only winning school in our area.

The SFA School Of Music Band Camp is an amazing resource right in Nacogdoches. Students come from all over the area to participate in their camp.

Locals pay less than half the normal fee, since they don't have to provide room and board. There are many benefits to being this close to the SFA campus.

Their application must be a show stopper to have won three years in a row. Congratulations to all of the students and educators that made this possible.
