Celebrate America's 250th with Music in Schools
Sounds of School brings patriotic music to school ensembles across the country in honor of the US 250th anniversary. In partnership with NFHS and Alfred Music, this project provides three free patriotic-themed pieces — for band, orchestra, and choir — that any school can perform.
How It Works

- Receive three free pieces — one each for concert band, orchestra, and choir
- Perform on June 21 at school, in a public space, or at a community event
- Can't play on June 21? Submit a video performance instead
