You know who we are, and what we’ve been about since day one. Many of our programs have grown and changed; our soul, focus, and commitment have not. We want to bring our Saints friends and family together for a special music project titled “The Lift Every Voice Project” where we honor our community through music and create dialogue around future projects.

The Significance of Lift Every Voice And Sing – PBS

History of Lift Every Voice And Sing – NAACP

We’re asking you to join in, and make a recording of yourself playing the following selections and sharing so they can be edited and released as a way to promote and prompt a discussion on bringing people together through the arts.

Selections:

  • Lift Every Voice And Sing (Brass Only) – at 162 BPM
  • America The Beautiful (Brass, Percussion, Guard) – at 108 BPM

Instructions:

Record yourself with a four-count audible lead-in (this makes syncing the video easy). Ensure there are no fans or other loud noises that would affect the sound quality (Video Tutorial). When completed upload your video to a file sharing service such as Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer and submit a link with your name, section, years and groups marched to lcarlton@columbussaints.org . We’re asking everyone to complete this (DEADLINE EXTENDED) JUN 26th at 11 PM, so we can edit and release the video for Juneteeth.

Using music to break down barriers at this time is vital and we appreciate your support in this project.
