A History of Young Musicians.

For over 15 years, Monrovia High School has hosted young talent from Monrovia and in 2017, the invitation to compete was extended to the entire San Gabriel Valley. 

 

Guest celebrity judges volunteer their time to score the contestants, while also giving advice to ambitious musicians trying to learn the art and the Industry.  

 

Each year the first, second, and third place winners are awarded cash prizes. Bragging rights and added Social Media exposure also sweeten the deal.

 

Below are some contestants in year's past who placed.
