WHY:    To encourage careers in the music business, GRAMMY In The
        Schools provides high school students an opportunity to
        interact with music industry professionals in educational
        settings throughout the country. Each GRAMMY In The Schools
        program features an informative Super Panel comprised of top
        recording and music industry professionals interacting with
        high school students. To make the day more substantive and
        thought-provoking for the students at Huntington Park High
        School, each participant received a survey and an online
        exercise on music downloading prior to the event. As a thank
        you for the students' participation, the GRAMMY Foundation
        will have a drawing for two tickets to the 3rd Annual Latin
        GRAMMY Awards.
