Music Monday

Music Monday is an annual event that brings together thousands of students, musicians, parents and community members across the country to celebrate the importance of music and music education in our lives, all on the same day at the same time.

The Coalition for Music Education launched Music Monday in 2005, and commissions a new song for the event every 2nd year. This year, a new song has been written by Ed Robertson of the BareNaked Ladies and Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut aboard the international space station! Always on the first Monday of May, this year the event will happen on Monday May 6th, 2013.

Huron’s celebration will take place at 11:00 am, out in the big field, weather permitting. Across the country and around the world our goal continues to be “Fill the Skies with Music.” Hence we encourage everyone to take your music to the fields and to the streets on this wondrous occasion! The idea is that if one were to open the front door of his or her home and stand on the street on the first Monday in May, one would hear music and the skies would be filled with melody.

Stop by the school if you can.
