Subject: Essay contest on school music, deadline Dec. 31, 2013

Greetings:

In case you haven't told your students, or if you want to remind them of the opportunity.  The online link changed from the earlier time that I sent this:

The School Band and Orchestra Magazine has recently announced an essay contest open to students from grades 4 to 12.  Although I can see that this magazine would generate more affinity to instrumental music teachers, there is nothing I can see in this contest that would exclude choral students from participating.

The awards include cash (check) scholarship money to winning students and purchase vouchers to the student's winning school from music companies.  The theme of the essay contest is

"Now more than ever music education is important because…"

There are two student categories.  One is grades four to eight and the other is grades nine to twelve.

The deadline is December 31, 2013.

Essays are submitted online at http://sbomagazine.com/essay-contest-submission.html

Two years ago a 7th grader from Harper JH (one of Greg Brucker's students) was one of the winners in her category.

Regards,
Hiram
