Bratt Student A Winner In Pensacola Symphony Orchestra Art Contest
December 10, 2012
A Bratt Elementary School fifth grader was one of three Escambia County winners in an art contest sponsored in conjunction with concerts by the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra.
Last month, 6,000 fifth grade students from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties attended live concerts by the Symphony at the Saenger Theatre in downtown Pensacola.
Regions Bank also sponsored an art contest in conjunction with the concerts. In the weeks leading up to the performance, students listened to the selected piece and drew pictures inspired by the music. This year’s piece was John Williams’ Olympic Fanfare. Students’ drawings depicted Olympic rings, various sporting events, gold medals, celebrity athletes, and more. From over 1,000 entries, 37 finalists were selected and their artwork was projected above the symphony during a live performance of the Olympic Fanfare at the concerts.
From those finalists, the top 3 entries from Santa Rosa and Escambia counties received prizes courtesy of Regions Bank.
In Escambia County, Amber Roth from Hellen Caro Elementary received first place and a $500 savings bond. Amanda Franklin from Bratt Elementary won second place and a $250 savings bond. Helena Gee from A.K. Suter Elementary received third place and a $100 savings bond.
Teachers of all of the winners received a gift basket of art supplies for their classrooms from Regions Bank.
