This National Registry of Sousa Award winners is a permanent record of students’ achievements. It is available for viewing by friends, family, and college admission departments.

Directors may fill out the online form to post the names of winning students, current and previous, online. (Note: submissions do not post automatically and may take some time to appear online, especially during the spring when many are submitted at once.)

The online form is intended to be used by school band directors - not students or parents. Winners from previous years, who are no longer students, may email us at advertising@theinstrumentalist.com. Please include the winner's name, school, town and state, year the award was presented, graduating class, director's name, and instrument(s) played, accompanied by a picture of the Sousa award showing the name.
