Our Music curriculum Quaver hosts a March Madness bracket-style competition every year. We listen and vote on (drum and dance to) our favorites at Walker, Walsh, and Wharton, and also on the Quaver nation online platform.

Then we compare our voting results to the Quaver nation's voting results.

This happens all throughout March, and the winner is announced April 13th!
