Congratulations
to our Hands-On Contest Winners!
Thanks to everyone who participated in this years Hands-On
Contest! This years prizes were from Yamaha, and were worth
over $7000!
Exactly 99 participants showed up for
the contest, which began at approximately 6:30pm on Friday
the 25th. Contestants had to keep all 10 fingers on their
Trumpet or Sax case to stay in the competition. They were
allowed helpers to feed them, and were given a 10 minute
break every six hours. Contestants sat next to a Trumpet
or Sax case on the floor, and remained that way through
the night. By Saturday morning, about 40 contestants were
still "standing". At about 10am on Saturday they
were allowed to transition into chairs, holding the cases
on their laps. The competition went on this way, and Contested
slowly fell out of the competition one by one, until it
ended Sunday the 27th at 2:30 a.m.
Our winners were real troopers - they
held on for over 32 hours (with no sleep)!
The winners are: Colton Hanks (1st
Place Sax), Ron Naylor (2nd Place
Sax), Stephenie Smith (1st Place
Tie for Trumpet) and Dallin Sorensen
(1st Place Tie for Trumpet).
Congratulations to our winners, and thanks
again to everyone who entered the competition, our Judges,
and all the helpers! Too see more photos from this years
