MEDINA COUNTY FAIR HONORS ENSEMBLES
 History 
In the fall of 1921, Samuel T. Burns, assistant superintendent of schools and director of music
education for Medina County Schools, initiated what was to be later called the Medina County Plan.
This plan made it possible for Medina County school administrators to secure and retain music
teachers, with adequate training and successful experience, to teach in the county schools. Burns’
plan would allow for a comprehensive music program to be built in the Medina County Schools. The
Plan made possible a varied and equalized program of music instruction at a moderate cost to each
school and a fair degree of specialization in instruction through the employment of well-trained music
teachers.
The Plan also called for the organization of honors organizations. A 60-member county honors
orchestra, 75-member county honors band, and an honors chorus of over 100 voices were formed
from students within the county school system. The students taking part in the ensembles were the
most advanced and “best the county could offer.” Rehearsals were centralized and held regularly
during the course of the year. Concerts were provided at various times during the school year as well.
So successful were those groups that a county music camp was organized for one week during the
summer.
The summer of 1982 saw a rebirth of Burns’ honors band concept. A decade later, the honors band
program had grown to include two bands, two choirs, and an orchestra. This year the ensemble
offerings include two bands and two choirs and are comprised of over 330 students.
