For Make Music Day’s 2nd collaboration with the NFHS, the NAMM Foundation, and MakeMusic, Inc, school and community bands can sign up for free, early access to composer Brian Balmages’s new work, Critical Impact, celebrating the power of music education. This Grade 2 piece is flexibly orchestrated for Concert Band, Full Orchestra, or for band and strings combined.
We invite your band to join! Perform it live on Make Music Day, or send a video of your ensemble performing Critical Impact for us to release on June 21.
Teachers and students are also invited to submit video testimonials about the “critical impact” of music education, and enter your school to win a share of $15,000 in new music from Alfred Music!
All bands are invited to register here. Printable sheet music and free access to MakeMusic Cloud will be emailed to you as soon as you sign up.
