Abington Senior High School’s Modern Music Makers (M3) program was featured by 6ABC News for receiving national attention via an Advocacy in Action award.

The district announced the details of the award in mid-January. Kevin Longwill, a two-time Grammy-nominee and a music industry teacher for Abington School District, was named to the Yamaha “40 Under 40” music education advocacy program for his role in the putting the program together.

“The idea is to give them the opportunity and agency to make the kind of music they want to do,” Longwill said.

Abington is holding their Modern Musical Invitational April 26-27. Their ‘Summer Sounds’ end-of-year show will be held May 31 and June 1. You can reserve and purchase tickets for these shows at m3asd.com.
