Bratt Student Awarded In Symphony’s ‘Express Yourself’ Art Contest

October 30, 2013

A Bratt Elementary school fifth grader was a winner in a recent “Express Yourself” art contest held in conjunction with the Pensacola Symphony.

Amber Gilman placed third among fifth grade students in Escambia County and received a gift  basket and a $100 prize card from Pen Air Federal Credit Union. This was the third consecutive year that a Bratt student has placed in the contest.

Before attending a field trip to the Pensacola Symphony with music teacher Emily Pollard, fifth graders at Bratt listened to a piece entitled “Firebird: Kastcheir Dance” by Stravinsky. As they listened, the students created pieces of art that fit the mood of the music and the story line while they were in class with art teacher Meredeth Roberts.

On the field trip, students were able to see the winning art creations on display as they listened to the symphony performance.
