Louder Than a Bomb 2013

Louder Than a Bomb is the world’s largest youth poetry slam. It is held in Chicago every year, and in 2012, freshman and sophomore scholars from Warren Township High School attended the finals. It was such an influential exposure that six Schuler schools brought scholars to the Cadillac Palace Theater on March 9^th for the 2013 competition. Four high school teams from the Chicagoland area competed for the title of LTAB champion. It was one of the biggest Schuler exposures of the year.

Here's what our scholars had to say:

“LTAB was explosive, it was mind-blowing, and heart-warming. My favorite part is when the poem reaches its climax and the poet is all into it.” –Bree Booth, ‘15

“The best line of the night: I’m thick like Harry Potter, Books 1 through 5.” –April Johnson, ‘16

“LTAB was life-changing.” –Eliot Ayala, ‘15

“I thought that the kids were really talented. They definitely exceeded my expectations, which were already high.”- Yarisamar Cortez ‘13
