George M. Turmail came to the Ladue School District in 1952 and taught until 1977. He served as band director, musical orchestra director, and coordinator of music during his tenure with the Ladue Schools. His compassion and dedication for music and students was exemplary. This award, named after Mr. Turmail, is presented to the senior who, during four years in the bands, has become an outstanding musician on his/her instrument. The student must be involved with the band program and should participate in other outside activities such as the musical orchestra, All-Suburban Band, All-State Band, Solo Festival, Community Music School of Webster University orchestra, the Youth Symphony, or other community groups. The student should demonstrate leadership qualities, be a good role model for younger students, have a good knowledge of music, and demonstrate qualities that are similar to those of George M. Turmail. The award will also include a $500 scholarship toward the senior’s future education.
