WASBE Conferences

Overview

Every two years, WASBE members come together to meet with colleagues, learn from top people in the field, and experience great wind band music. The International Youth Wind Orchestra performs at this conference (just follow the IYWO link above for background information on that program).

All conferences since 2003 have featured a daily web presence, which we have archived via this page. Just click on the appropriate Conference Logo to look through the archive of articles and photos. Numerous reviews and photos have been added since the Conference ended.

You can view photos from other past conferences by following the links above. A brief history of WASBE also gives some details of past conferences up to 2001. If you have photos you would like to contribute to make our collection more complete, send them to Web Publisher Anthony Reimer.
