The Last Word: Winners Announced for Mid‑Cities ‘Beats for Good’ Competition
by David Seeley | Oct 4, 2024
Beats for Good—a high school music competition for students in the Arlington, Hurst-Euless-Bedford, and Mansfield school districts—invited students to put their best performances forward by submitting videos of their talent in action. Back on September 6, the top judged entries were posted online with visitors asked to vote for their favorites—and the winners are in. First place went to 2024 Arlington High School graduate Mason Moore and his spellbinding acoustic guitar rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
