The end of the year is almost upon us, holiday concerts are (thankfully) done, and everyone is counting down the days to winter break! What better way to waste some time than voting for the Best Concert Band Cover of 2012? There are several publishers that have made new concert band covers an art form, and our band staff looks forward to the unique and creative images each year. Check out the covers in the slideshow below, then vote for your favorite in the poll at the end of this post. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Stanton’s was thrilled to learn that one of the entrants is from Central Ohio–the Otterbein University Cardinal Marching Band has put together a fantastic rendition of the “Hawaii Five-O” theme song!
The winning marching band is awarded $25,000 for their program, so help Stanton’s support them by casting your vote daily!
2010 is a very exciting year for us here at Stanton's Sheet Music - we're celebrating our 50th Anniversary! Founded in August of 1960 by Columbus, Ohio native John Stanton, Stanton's Sheet Music has grown over the last 50 years from a humble “mom and pop†storefront to our current status as one of the largest sheet music retailers in the country. We are fortunate to have become a valuable and trusted resource for musicians because of our commitment to quality products and personal customer service; a commitment we continue to build upon.
For a retrospective look at where we've come from (and where we're heading in the future), check out our video below. Thanks to our wonderful family of customers, we've enjoyed an amazing and successful 50 year history, and we look forward to continuing to serve all your sheet music needs for the next 50 years!
The Grammy Awards will air on January 31st at 8 pm on CBS.

Remember to check our website to find various print music versions of songs from all your favorite nominees.

The Ohio State Fair opened this week here in Columbus and will run through August 9th! Each year, thousands of visitors flock to the fair for rides, food, competitions, and unique booths and displays. Of course, here at Stanton’s, we’re most excited about the music line-up; in addition to the big acts in the Celeste Center, there are also smaller stages and roving musicians and entertainers throughout the fairgrounds.
Kristin Chenoweth, singer, musical theatre, film, and television actress was born today. Some of her best-known Broadway roles are Sally Brown in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” and Glinda in “Wicked.” On television, she most recently appeared in the role of Olive Snook on the ABC dramedy “Pushing Daisies” for which she received an Emmy nomination. She is slated to portray Dusty Springfield in an upcoming biopic, and will lend her unmistakable coloratura voice to the Disney animated film “Rapunzel.”
Today, July 17th, is the birthday of multi-talented entertainer David Hasselhoff. As a musician, he is noted for his performance when the Berlin Wall was brought down in 1989. Although most Americans know him most for his acting, Hasselhoff enjoys success as a singer primarily in Germany and Austria, and his single, “Jump in My Car,” hit #3 on the UK charts on October 8, 2006.
