Brian Balmages’ salute to music education, performed by hundreds of bands across the country.
The NFHS, Alfred Music, the NAMM Foundation, MakeMusic Inc., and the Make Music Alliance are teaming up to offer school and community bands free early access to Critical Impact — a powerful new piece by composer Brian Balmages. This Grade 2 piece (2:30 long) is flexibly written for Concert Band, Full Orchestra, or a mix of band and strings. The music will be provided to each participating band at no cost, with sheet music and MakeMusic Cloud access provided when you sign up.
We invite your band to join!
Play Critical Impact live on June 21 for Make Music Day, or send us a video of your performance to be featured.
Teachers and students can also submit a short video about how music education has made a difference in their lives, and your school could win a portion of $15,000 in new music from Alfred Music!
All bands are welcome. Sign up below to get your music and take part!
