Musical education positively impacts students' academic performance, assists in the development of social skills and provides an outlet for creativity that is crucial to development. Though, despite the benefits, schools around the U.S. have decreased students' exposure to music due to increased emphasis on standardized evaluations and a lack of resources and support. 

"We often applaud students who excel in subjects like science or math, but it's equally as important to support and stimulate those who express creativity through performing arts," said Amy Witherite, founder of Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck. "With art and music programs being removed from academic curriculums around the nation, I'm encouraged that Atlanta has sustained its program and am excited to reward these bands for their hard work."
