It’s that time of year again. Spring break is almost upon us, the days are getting longer, and it’s time to fill out your brackets! That’s right, it’s March Madness at the Presser Music Library, and we need your help to pick the field of 64 for our annual single elimination tournament. Here’s how it works. After your nominations have been tallied we’ll release the official bracket and you can vote on who you think should win the individual matchups. This year’s event will pit your favorite popular music artists of the last 100 years against each other in a head to head competition to see who will be crowned champion!
To nominate your 5 favorite artists of the last 100 years, you can drop off your ballet in person at the Presser Music Library, email us your list at presserlibrary@wcupa.edu, or simply submit your nominations online via our website.
Whichever way you choose to submit your nominations, do it fast! The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, March 13th. The tournament officially gets underway on Monday, March 18th. Make sure to stop by the Presser Music Library or visit us online each week to vote for your favorite artists as the rounds progress and the field begins to shrink.
Who will win!? Beyoncé vs. the Beatles? Fleetwood Mac vs. the Fleet Foxes? Let the madness begin!

You can also join in making your own paper lantern! We have set up a craft table for your making of a New Year’s Paper Lantern. We encourage you to make these paper lanterns and place them along the window sill. We also have some coloring pages (Lunar New Year-themed) that you can color and hang anywhere in Presser.
