Sponsored by the Augustine Foundation, this is a wonderful opportunity for youths to participate in a virtual guitar orchestra with their peers. This is free to all and available to any youth up through 12th grade who is studying guitar, in a class, school, or privately.
The piece for Washington State is Partial Eclipse by Richard Charlton.
The music isĀ for various levels, with four guitar parts. One part may also be played on bass.
All the instructions on recording and submitting the video are here:
