Concert Band Festivals - Registration will be in place in early January, with the announcement of clinicians. Please contact Steve Martin with questions (link on board page) slimsmarti@gmail.com

The CBA Middle School Concert Band Festival is an excellent resource and opportunity for your developing students and a great way to get feedback on your group’s development. Elementary directors are also encouraged to participate as these festivals are a great opportunity for young musicians.

The festival includes 3 adjudicators, recorded and written feedback, and an on (or) off stage clinic. Groups receive ratings from each clinician, those ratings are not posted. You can also choose to perform for comments only.

UPDATE FOR THE 2011-12 SCHOOL YEAR!
