We spy some exceptional Appleton Area School District educators on this list. 🧐 We can't wait to learn more about the Music Education Team's plans for Mile 13!

Our final artist announcement is here: the Mile of Music Music Education Team! 🎶🥁 These artists and educators create authentic, engaging opportunities for people of all ages to learn, connect, and make music together throughout the festival.

A huge thank-you to the partners who make these experiences possible: Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, FCASA Stadium Fund, Mile of Music, Inc., Creative Imprint, Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Heid Music, and Lawrence Community Music School.

The announcements may be over, but the excitement is just getting started! 🙌
