March

March is Music In Our Schools Month

Team up with a local school and bring in some area musicians. Choose someone to play something with a Latin-American flavor and give all the kids logoed mini maracas so they can play along. Provide school kids with pencils molded in the shape of G-clefts or use other music oriented logoed merchandise to distribute to school kids either through the schools or at your place of business in connection with a music in school program.
