2003 Challenge “Play to Win”

Congratulations to all 2003 participants and winners for making this year's Challenge a great event for all! Check back for information on the 2004 Challenge.

“Play to Win” was the name of this year¹s Challenge. The challenge is to see how much you can learn. Here’s how to participate:

Set aside a period of two weeks for dedicated practice on an instrument of your choice. Think about how much time you normally practice during a week and challenge yourself to practice more often. How many new pieces might you be able to learn in this two week period?

Before you start practicing, get a couple of people to sponsor you. Collect pledges from friends and family totaling $5.00 or more. The more pledges you receive, the more times your name is entered into the drawing for the prizes. Collect $25.00, for example, and have your name entered five times.

Once you are ready, begin the Challenge! Record your practice hours on the entry form. At the end of two weeks, collect your pledge money, then have your parents write a check payable to the Piano Santa Foundation, and send it in with your entry form to PSF, PO Box 80173, Portland, OR 97280 postmarked no later than May 5, 2003.
