Amusicman Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ok guys in order to give us something to do while we twiddle away the hours untill summer, when the DCI competitions start, I thought this might be fun. So this is how the game is played. Every Wed. I will post my COTW article in the TxBPress section of the site. On Thur., the next day, I will post 3 questions about facts from that specific composers life covered in the article. You will have untill 5:00 P.M. on Sat. to PM or E-mail, me your answers. At that time I will randomly choose 1-2 people who got the correct answers. These 1-2 people each week will then win any 1 CD they choose with works from that specific composer. They can pick from any of the works that that composer has written. So if you like the COTW articles and want to win some FREE CDs then make sure to look every WED. for the article, then every Thur. for the 3 questions to answer! Also if you have any specific composers you want to learn more about just let me know and I am sure I can include them, and give them a article!
