“Blues In The Schools is all about opening ears, opening eyes and opening hearts” says Liz Walker, BITS chair person. “Giving students an opportunity to find their own innate talents builds a capacity for self determination and individual expression, which then grows into community building. We are expecting 800-1000 happy attendees experiencing something out of their box. The ticket price is extremely family friendly – only $10!”
Also on site will be representatives from state & community services, such as: public safety, apprenticeship programs, volunteer opportunities & anti-bullying/suicide prevention resources. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in all the experiences available to win prizes by having their “passports” stamped at each installation.
