How can students participate?

Students choose ONE week during the Marathon to track their practice time in half-hour increments.  Prior to that week, students sign up sponsors who pledge a certain amount for each half-hour practiced. At the end of the week, students collect the funds pledged by their sponsors and mail them in OR hand them in to their music teacher.  

What are the benefits of participating?

To affirm the importance of regular practice
To encourage the supportive role of parents and teachers in a student’s musical development
 To help support the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra 

Are individual awards given?

All participants receive a “Certificate of Participation” and an invitation to our Closing Celebration and Music Fair.
Each participant who raises $15 or more, and one accompanying adult, will receive tickets to a Syracuse Symphony concert, good during the 2010-2011 season.  Additional prizes, including gift certificates and merchandise, will be awarded based upon amount of funds raised and hours practiced by each participant.
