Today launches a brand new music contest only for the Tri-City area of Batavia/Geneva/St. Charles. The contest's creator, Scott Corbin of The Jank Guitar Store, has made a really cool opportunity for our kids!
It is called "The Road" Song Contest
Here are the bullet points:
- Open to kids ages 10-19 (and doesn't have to be students in band, orch. or chorus. ie could be dancers/guitarists/etc), with parent's signed permission and a $3 entrance fee.
- The winner receives $2,000 for the town, $2,000 for their music program, and a $10,000 scholarship for themselves!
- They will be given a recording and sheet music of the song "The Road" by Casely and The Jank (whom Scott is half of), and must interpret it through a music cover, remix, or dance performance.
- It isn't really a focus on pure musical talent or skill. Think "creativity" first! How can the student's apply their knowledge?
- The contest is open from 2/14 to 8/25.
- They must upload their submission to YouTube, and the winner will be announced in December.
Feel free to email Scott if you have any questions along the way: corbin11@hotmail.com.
