Congratulations, Mr. Lisko!
Please congratulate Mr. Lisko for being inducted to the National Band Director's Fraternity, Phi Beta Mu. This honor is huge, and he is so deserving of it. Way to go, Mr. Lisko!
Phi Beta Mu was established as a result of the respect and appreciation which our Founder, Colonel Earl D. Irons, had for his professional associates. Col. Irons was Bandmaster and Chairman of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Arlington, then known as North Texas Agricultural College. He envisioned an organization that would honor outstanding band directors whose dedication and devotion to their profession were paramount, but whose admirable traits and services were not necessarily known nationally. Col. Irons sought to honor deserving individuals on a state level similar to the manner in which he and Honorary Life President, D. O. Wiley, had been honored by the American Bandmasters Association in 1936.

The Wylie High School Band Boosters have taken on a big task this year with supporting almost 50 students with private lesson student aid. To continue this great program, we require additional funds to keep the program going through the rest of the school year. We give $15-25 in student aid to students depending on financial need. A gift of $240 would help sponsor a student that receives partial student aid for the rest of the school year.
