Picture The Music

The Lima Area Concert Band is sponsoring a new event for kindergarten through 12th grade students in the Lima area. This FREE event involves a cross-curricular experience where students will be given the opportunity to listen to a piece of music and create two-dimensional art (drawing, painting, oil pastel, paper craft, etc.) to display their interpretation of what the music sounds like.

This year’s program features the piece Echoes in the Woods by Rick Kirby.

The LACB will be performing the piece of music at our concert on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 7:30pm.  All 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finalists and families from all grade levels will be invited to attend and will be presented with a certificate during the concert. All finalists’ artwork will be on display in the lobby before and during the concert and the 1st place finalist’s artwork will be shown on a screen during the performance of the piece.

Students, with the help of their music and/or art teachers, will submit their artwork to the LACB for judging. A panel of judges will look at all of the work and choose one 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place finalist from each grade level. See the Teachers Guide for specific details including how to prepare and submit student entries.
