Muncie Symphony holds annual competition for young musicians in the region. Winners are selected in two divisions: junior (grades 6-8) and senior (grades 9-12). Both division winners receive cash prizes and are offered performance opportunity with the MSO.   The competition allows MSO to discover and showcase young rising talents. It also serves as encouragement and inspiration for any school age children who are learning an instrument to continue their practice.  

Public is admitted free of charge to observe the competition. Concert étiquette is required, but you can leave/enter quietly during the competition in between the performances.

Eric King Watts will examine how this genre is preoccupied with "end-of-days" fantasies that feed the motives of extreme preparedness groups. In particular, the talk will focus on "Zombie Preppers," a docudrama produced and aired on Discovery Channel as an example of how the genre composes a zombie outbreak as plausible. Lastly, the talk speculates on the potential communicative impacts brought about by repetitive exposure and intense consumption of the genre.
