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.

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.

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 the Executive Director.
