  • 2010 Music for All National Festival Program Book
    presented by March 4-6, 2010 Indianapolis, Indiana Programs of Music for All Greetings from the President & CEO March 4, 2010 Greetings, Welcome to Indianapolis and the 2010 Music for All National Festival, presented by Yamaha. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this premier event, recognized as the epitome of music festivals, and to congratulate you for being recognized as one of the finest school music programs in America. 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of Music for All’s Bands of America and my 26th L. Scott McCormick year as the executive director of the organization. For the past 34 years, we have been able to provide positively life-changing experiences to over 1.25 million young people and educators. Today, more than ever, I am encouraged by what lies on the horizon and at the same time looking at current challenges that we have not previously experienced. Today, we have greater evidence than we have ever had about the impact that music and the arts have on preparing our young people for the new creative society. And yet we face more and more schools looking at budget cuts that, unfortunately, too often look at the wrong places to cut. It is time to grow the largest community of advocates in our history. With the army of alumni that this organization has, we all need to reach out to engage each of our respective school’s alumni and come together with a single message. If you read this, like so many parents and teachers have in the past, and say, these budget cuts and issues will not affect our program, I know of several nationally recognized music programs’ parents and teachers who were of the same opinion a year ago.
