Our Mission Statement:

The Midland Y’s Men’s Music Festival encourages the study and advancement of music from the Renaissance to the 21st Century, while providing youth of all ages and backgrounds an opportunity to perform, to be adjudicated by music professionals and to be rewarded.

Our Philosophy:

The goals of the Y’s Men’s Music Festival are to:

• provide students motivation to develop a high level of performance;

• provide students opportunity to hear other students perform, thus stimulating their desire for growth;

• provide students opportunity to compare their own standard of achievement with those of other students;

• provide students an environment where the quality of material performed is stressed;

• provide students an event in which they can receive objective and constructive criticisms of their performance;

• provide music teachers with a setting in which they may appraise their own standard of accomplishment; and

• to provide the community with a source of enjoyment for both performers and listeners.
