Roy A. Johnson<\/p>\n \n

Partners in Music Education Program<\/h1>\n \n
\n\n During the fall of 1999, Purdue Bands & Orchestras launched the Roy A. Johnson Partners in Music Education as a pilot program. Its purpose is to establish a true partnership between Purdue Bands & Orchestras and Indiana high school instrumental music programs involving every area of our program – from orchestras, jazz, and concert bands to athletic pep bands.\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

A side by side experience.<\/h2>\n \n \n\n

Purdue Bands & Orchestras partners one athletic pep band and one concert ensemble with an interested partner school. The pep band attends a Partner school’s basketball game, providing entertainment during the game and halftime. The concert ensemble meets the Partner school in the spring for a day of clinics and \u201cside by side\u2019 rehearsals, either at Purdue or at the Partner school. The day ends with a joint performance and showcase concert by the Purdue ensemble. <\/p>\n\n\n

Creating a musical connection.<\/h2>\n \n \n\n

The resulting message of the partnership is a reminder to everyone that high school graduation does not mean the end of music in a students’ life. It is a bridge to new opportunities for exciting and rewarding lifelong musical experiences; whether in the local community, on a college campus, or even at Purdue University!<\/p>\n\n\n
