Advertising Opportunities

As the official publication and primary means of communications for Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) and Wisconsin Music Educators (WMEA), Wisconsin School Musician is written for music educators, school administrators, college students and all who are interested in music education. The magazine publishes articles on news and events in general or specialized areas of music education. For WSM ad sizing information, click here.

Neither WSMA nor WMEA will sell or give out our members’ email addresses. However, we do send out periodic electronic newsletters to our members in which advertisers can take advantage of advertising directly to our members via email. There are seven different opportunities to advertise throughout the year depending on when and to whom an advertiser is interested in reaching. An ad consists of a 100 word paragraph, a graphic as well as a link. Each newsletter can only accommodate two advertisers. Contact advertising@wsmamusic.org for an example of this opportunity and to reserve your spots for the 2021-22 school year.

Each year, more than 10,000 participants, spectators and marching band directors will be in attendance as more than 30 marching bands from across Wisconsin will perform and compete. The State Marching Band Championships Program pricing starts as low as $125.00!

Reserve Your Spot in the State Marching Band Championships Program Now! Artwork and paperwork due September 17. For exhibiting information, click here.

WSMA State Honors Music Project concerts are scheduled in conjunction with the Wisconsin State Music Conference. Two printed programs are produced to be distributed at these events: one for the high school concerts and another the middle level concerts. Advertising is available for both programs. All ads are the same size (6.5″ W x 10.5″) and in black and white. For questions, please contact advertising@wsmamusic.org.

Select from an Interior Full Page in the High School State Honors program (estimated 2,500 Printed, TBD) or an Interior Full Page in the Middle Level State Honors program (estimated 1,500 Printed, TBD).
