NAMM will capitalize on this special event by bringing a pro-music stance to the nation's capitol, and members are invited to take an active role locally as well. D.C. That evening, we will host a special party on Capital Hill, celebrating the benefits of music education. Congressmen, senators and their staff are all invited to attend.
Guests can enjoy musical performances and stroll through the instrument petting zoo.
They may even be treated to a surprise appearance from some of our friends at Sesame Street . NAMM representatives will also meet with key Capitol Hill Education and Appropriations Committee Members to discuss our educational and legislative agenda. Last year, NAMM execs were able to discuss the role of music education with numerous high-ranking officials, including Senator Ted Kennedy. In addition, a national press conference that afternoon will announce an important new resolution in support of music education. NAMM members can also tune in to the World's Largest Concert, being held in conjunction with Music in Our Schools Month.
