Great Lakes Regional Contest

Welcome to the forty sixth annual Great Lakes Regional Contest at the Westin Detroit Metro Airport Hotel in Romulus, Michigan. We are thrilled to see so many returning and new student and teacher faces participating in our 2nd GLR since we returned from COVID.

Our contest committee has been working diligently through out the year to bring you a high quality contest that will help you produce memories that last a lifetime. Make the most of your time here and take in as much as you can. Listen to other performances and while doing it you can make new friends and have fun. Meeting people from other studios is a great way for you to learn while experiencing new things and make friendships that last a lifetime. Both Gina and I met as competitors, we both went into the music teaching business and we maintained the friendship all these years even though we lived hundreds of miles apart.

When you’re participating in the contest, don’t forget to share your experiences. Take your pictures at the AGM photo booth and take pictures with your phones. Send your pictures to our social media by tagging us on Facebook @americanguild or on Instagram @theamericanguildofmusic. Visit our Facebook page where you can see your pics, tag yourself and share with friends at facebook.com/americanguild! If you do make a new friend post it on our facebook page.

Good Luck to each and every one of you . We look forward to seeing you at our National Contest this summer.

Yours in music,

Richard A. Chizmadia Contest Manager Executive Director
