The State of Wisconsin has been a forerunner in the teaching of Music to its children from as early as the late 19th century. This WSMS Music Festival was started in the early 1930s. Each year over 32,000 students (11,000+ events) qualify at district festivals to perform at State Solo & Ensemble festival making this event one of the largest of its kind in the nation. These students represent the student talent and high quality of music programs in Wisconsin’s schools.

I have here a Class A gold award with ribbon from the 1960s. It is in very good condition and would be a great addition to a collection.
