The Elkton Town Band

William H. Lewis, Jr. Scholarship Information

​​

Bill Lewis was a life-long resident of Cecil County and taught music in the Cecil County Public Schools for 40 years.  He served as both player and conductor from the 1930's-1970s, and helped revive the band in 1998.

​

When Bill passed away in 2003, the Lewis family and the Elkton Town Band established the William H. Lewis, Jr. Memorial Scholarship in his honor. The one-time $1,000 scholarship is presented to a talented Cecil County high school senior musician who has participated in the Elkton Town Band for at least two concert series in their senior year, and who will pursue a college education as a music major in the upcoming school year.
