College Bowl 2007
9th Annual AP® Music Theory Competition

The 9th Annual AP® Music Theory Competition sponsored by Advanced Placement Strategies, Inc. and the O'Donnell Foundation boasted a record attendance of 189 students from eleven area high schools. This year's event was held on Saturday, March 31, 2007.

The annual event gives music theory students an opportunity to take a practice Music Theory exam in preparation for the College Board's National Music Theory AP® Examination in May. In the morning, students were tested and graded in the areas of Figured Bass, Harmonic & Melodic Dictation, Melodic Harmonization, Sight-Singing, Listening Skills, and Fundamentals of Theory. After lunch, students were invited to showcase their talent by giving impromptu musical performances in front of their peers. A number of students took on this challenge and gave exceptional performances. During the afternoon, students participated in the the Music Theory Bowl Competition—a fun and competitive team-based question and answer activity used to review the students' knowledge of music theory. The awards ceremony at the end of the day honored individual and team achievement. Download the 9th Annual College Bowl Agenda.
