SBO's editor-in-chief Mike Lawson and his company artistpro, LLC have acquired School Band & Orchestra, Choral Director Magazine, and JazzEd Magazine, along with 142-year-old music retail trade publication, Musicial Merchandise Review (MMR).

We are celebrating by going back to print! Want in? We hope so!

USPS requires us to have a majority of requested subscribers or they will not allow us to mail at periodical postage rates. Those rates make it possible to mail.

Simply put, if you don't request or renew your free subscription, you won't get back to the norm of having the print magazine in the mail. 

You will NOT receive the back-to-school print edition if you do not sign up for or renew your request by July 31. 

We will still email the digital edition if you choose that you prefer the print version at signup/renewal, so you won't miss out there, either.

If you renew your free subscription to SBO Magazine NOW, you should be on the list for the Back-to-School PRINT copy again, along with your free digital edition delivery and online articles.

There is no catch. It isn't a trial thing, no credit cards, payments... we are advertiser supported for music educators and professionals who request to receive the magazine. Simple, huh?

So, stop what you're doing and go renew or subscribe, and let's get back to the (new) normal!

Already renewed? Thank you! Feel free to forward this to a colleague who would enjoy the normal that print in hand will bring to their band room!
