ASO Composer Project Festival 2013

On Friday, March 29^th from 4:00-6:00pm we will be hosting our second annual ASO Composer Project Festival. All SPARK students completed a research project focusing on the instruments, music, historical eras, and composers they would hear on their field trip to hear the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on January 29th. Third, Fourth, and Fifth grade students will have an opportunity to enter their project into the Composer Project Festival for judging with prizes being awarded for the best overall, the most creative, and the most informative projects.

Because there are so many eligible projects, and to avoid overwhelming the guest judges, we will have two categories: Kids' Choice and Judges' Choice. Projects will be classified as Kids' Choice or Judges' Choice by a sticker vote during school between March 20-23.

I would like for this to be an elegant event, so I am requesting for participants to wear Symphony-appropriate attire.

Students who earned a 14 or higher on their ASO Project are encouraged to enter, as are students who wish to improve their projects for this event. You may enter your project even if you are unable to attend the event on March 29th.

Some projects have already been selected by Ms. Turgeon for this event. Students with "automatic entry" projects will be notified by March 15th.

Techonology Projects: We can accept a maximum of 10 PowerPoints, 5 Websites, and 5 Video projects, so please be sure to get your application in soon! 

Please submit your application (linked below) by March 22nd!
