Young Artist Showcase
Supporting local student artists in 6th-12th grades.
Music
Calling BAAC musicians in grades 6-12!
It's time to prepare for the annual BAAC Music Young Artist Showcase, coming February 4 to your local school.
Students in grades 6-12 are invited to perform one song in front of our panel of musicians for feedback and scores. A lot of students use this as a trial run before ISSMA solo and ensemble because we are often able to get comments back in time for one last lesson. Sign ups are open until December 18, or until the event fills. Organizers will use email to distribute information and specific performance times.
Contestants must attend BMS, BHS, St. Louis, or OA; live in the Batesville Community School Corporation and be homeschooled; or be members of BAAC.
There is no snow make-up date.
