Book Readers and Horn Blowers

Program

Featured Program: The biography of a famous person from American History is the centerpiece of our program, and includes the culture and music important to that person, and why that person is important to American culture and heritage.

Instrument Petting Zoo: Up to 75 students are invited to participate in an instrument petting zoo, where the students have the opportunity to experiment with an instrument. Target audience includes students who will be eligible for band in the next school year.

Curriculum Enhancement Packet: Sent by mail to the schools about two weeks in advance of the program, this CEP includes a copy of the featured book, a music CD with selections of the featured music, and activities for students which address Indiana Academic Standards in Language Arts, Music, and Social Studies.

Book Donation: Subject to availability, 30 children's books are donated to the school's library, supplied by a generous sponsor.

Time Frame: Programs are scheduled during the school day, morning or afternoon.

Audience Size: We request no more than 250 per session, usually two sessions per programs, with early elementary group and upper elementary group.

Nothing. Sound too good to be true?

Here's how it works: Since Book Readers and Horn Blowers
is a nonprofit company, we are eligible for grants and donations. Each community has a pool of financial resources, and most are very generous and anxious to support this kind of program. Our dedicated staff is continually seeking funds to present this program in schools at no cost to the school.

The only catch is that the granting process takes time. The granting process from beginning to end can take anywhere from 6 - 18 months. So, right now, we’re looking ahead to the spring ‘06 and the ‘06-‘07 school year.

Note: Occasionally, we are unable to secure sufficient funding to present our program. We regret that we cannot guarantee funding. However, our success rate exceeds 90%.
