Anthony Myrick Memorial scholarship
Supporting the symphony of tomorrow.
Celebrate Anthony’s life by helping spread the joy of music and encourage perseverance through life’s challenges.
#JustKeepPlaying
Shortly after Anthony’s death we learned of many stories of him from his friends. An over arching theme was that others looked up to his commitment and dedication to his art. They would ask how he did what he did and how did he get to that point. Anthony encouraged others to Keep Playing. To practice all you can, to push through the difficulties of the song or learning the fundamentals of the instrument.
In Anthony’s honor we started this scholarship to help continue those words that he encouraged and weave into life’s message of when we struggle, to just keep playing.
Current Services
AMMS strives to support music in schools. Starting first at the high school Anthony attended and working our way outward, our goal is to grow into supporting multiple schools statewide.
All donations will be facilitated through Canyons Education Foundation a 501(c)(3). Funds will be named under AMMS.
Instrument Purchases and Repairs
Instruments are the backbone of every music program. Anthony loved playing and repairing all types of instruments for his teacher and friends. We want to continue his legacy by purchasing or repairing instruments each school year.
Trip Sponsorship
Every two years Alta High Music program takes a Music Tour. This is a student paid event in which many cannot afford. AMMS will aims to offset the cost of the trip for the group. Every ensemble member's attendance is important. We want to help ensure that they are there and experience music across the world.
Instrumental Equipment
Sometimes that guitar needs a new amp or the marching band needs safer podiums for the drum majors. Here is where we can shine to purchase the items that are essential for the show to go on.
