THIS IS A NEW DATE FOR SING AND ’25 SHOWCASE
IT WAS RESCHEDULED FROM FEB. 20 DUE TO SNOW

Welcome to our seventh-annual student music competition where you pick the winners! The Sing and Play ‘25 Showcase features instrumental and vocal acts with a $50 prize awarded for the best performance in each of three age-based competitions: elementary, middle school and high school.

Acts may be solos or ensembles of up to four people, with all performers being full-time students in a North Carolina public, private or home school. Competing acts will be selected by open auditions, with winners of the showcase competition determined by audience vote.

The entire event is designed as an educational experience for student musicians. It gives performers of all ages a chance to experience the audition process in a completely supportive environment and provides talented student musicians the opportunity to perform in front of a welcoming audience.

Thank you to Greg Burriss, Matt Fry and Sandra Gisel Lopez for serving as audition judges. Also to Sandra Gisel Lopez, our 2024 High School Division champion, who will be our guest performer!

🎟️ General admission for the Sing and Play Showcase competition is $5 per person and includes one vote in each category. Tickets will be sold at the door. All proceeds are used by JMArts for educational activities, including our flagship JMArts Scholars, to create opportunity for high school artists and help them thrive.
