Sam Houston’s Bank Director, Bruce Adams, Meets Barry Manilow After Being Awarded by the Manilow Music Teacher Award
Bruce Adams, the band director at Sam Houston High School, experienced an unforgettable moment last week when he met the legendary singer Barry Manilow. Adams was named San Antonio’s recipient of the prestigious Manilow Music Teacher Award. Earlier this year, the Manilow Music Project announced that in each city on Manilow’s summer tour, one high school music teacher would be chosen by a community vote for this honor.
By winning the award, Adams secured $5,000 worth of new instruments for his school’s band program, along with an additional $5,000 to use as he sees fit. “I’m thankful my community and friends kept supporting me throughout the voting process,” Adams shared. “This prize will allow us to enhance students’ education by providing much-needed equipment.”
