Bbb4E Information

Since 2000, Books, Brushes & Bands for Education has attracted thousands of public, private, parochial, and home school students from ages 5 to 18 to experience excellent instruction and performance opportunities. We strive to achieve individual student excellence so they may develop in confidence, self-esteem, team-building, and ultimately appreciate and respect the differences in others. Through consistent and continued involvement, students discover and enhance their creative gifts and experience the world beyond their everyday classroom. Currently, there is representation from over 25 schools in both Indiana and Illinois with students participating in multiple programs. There is no residency restriction for any of our programs. Our ongoing partnership with Merit School of Music for the Midwest Youth music programs has provided experiences beyond excellent classroom instruction. Over the years, BBB4E students have performed venues such as the Get Out the Vote Rally featuring keynote speaker President Obama, AON Foundation, MeritFest at Symphony Center, Calumet College of Saint Joseph, Dynasty Banquets, Merit Young Musicians Competition, Indiana University Northwest, Nazareth Home Gala, Purdue University Northwest, and Festival of the Lakes with FOREIGNER as their guest community choir.
