WHAT IS MUSIC IN THE MAKING?
Music in the Making is a student-run event meant to showcase public music education in Lincoln, as well as raise funds for struggling music programs. The day will include performances by music students, a musical petting zoo, and much more.
WHEN IS MUSIC IN THE MAKING?
Music in the Making will be held on April 5, from 1-5 pm. It is an open house, so feel free to come and go as you please.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
There is no admittance fee, but we will be taking freewill donations. Concessions will be available at reasonable prices.
WHY MUSIC IN THE MAKING?
Music is such an important part of our educational system- it encourages creativity and stretches the limits of the mind. Being a part of your school's music program is a good way to meet new people from every grade, and have fun in a positive manner.
Unfortunately, across the nation funding for music education is getting slashed, and entire music programs are being cut. Schools can't afford to replace broken instruments, attend competitions, and purchase uniforms. Some school systems create policies that make it increasingly difficult to be involved in music.
Music in Lincoln is already underfunded. This event was created to raise funds to supplement those provided by the school district, as well as inform the public that the true value of music extends farther than its budget.
