Dear Colleague:
Welcome to our new website!
The Western and Northwestern Divisions of the College Band Directors National Conference continue to re-write the CBDNA history book, and the officers of both divisions have worked very hard to provide a conference that you have come to expect. TA-DA! We are proud to announce that our eleventh biennial conference will take place in Reno (where else) from March 10th through 13th.
Let me take a few minutes to explain the buttons on the Website. The first button deals with all of the different aspects about the 2010 Conference. Information about Registration/Hotel Form, Conference Schedule, Director Schedule and Shuttle Schedule are contained under the subheading 2010 General Conference Information. The other subheadings include Clinics/Resource Room, Intercollegiate Band, Commission, and Performing Ensembles. I think you get the idea. Have fun browsing!
The next button, About W/NW CBDNA, includes the Officers of the Western and Northwestern Divisions as well as the Master Calendar for the next 6 years. The last button, History of W/NW CBDNA, contains all of the information about our historic union since we began 22 years ago. The History of the Conference is a 20-year document that was printed in 2008. The subheading Literature Performed is a database that will eventually have the capability to be sorted by year, composer, title and conductor (coming soon!). ENJOY!!!
Please mark your calendar and make plans to attend the 2010 CBDNA Western/Northwestern Division Conference. If you have any questions or you just want to talk, please call me at (775) 682-9036 or e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
I look forward to seeing you in March!!!
