CBC Music, in association with MusiCounts, has challenged music classes across Canada to learn a great Canadian song. From elementary to high school, this year’s entries include everything from jazz bands, kazoo classes, guitar clubs, symphonies, choirs and so much more.

This year’s entries have been amazing, and the results for the short list are in: announcing the top schools from each category for the Canadian Music Class Challenge 2016. Check the list below to see who made it.

The winning school from each category will be rewarded with a high-tech classroom recording kit, as well as a commemorative plaque. Winners will be announced online at cbcmusic.ca/musicclass as well as on CBC Radio 2 Morning, and q with Tom Power on December 16.
