With the huge National Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) at the Anaheim Convention Center all week for their massive music industry trade show, hear about another important aspect of this non-profit's work to support music programs at the local level. As we talk about NAMM's recent "Day of Service" here in Anaheim (ahead of their multi-day trade show).
Happening two days before The NAMM Show, the world’s largest global gathering of the music industry, the hands-on service event supports the organization’s year-round efforts to provide every child in the district with the opportunity for a well-rounded education that includes music. Sunkist Elementary (K-6) has been chosen as this year’s host location for a day of high- energy, mixed genre, constructive musical learning opportunities. In addition to serving the community and students, NAMM will present a $10,000 check to support the continued growth of music making in Anaheim.
