CMEA-SBS Band and Orchestra Festivals
CMEA-SBS Instrumental Music Festival Mission Statement
The Southern Border Section of the California Music Educators’ Association is a proud sponsor of many local adjudicated band and orchestra festivals each school year. Our philosophy behind these festivals is to provide a venue for the evaluation of student musical performances that is both rigorous and educationally valuable. At each of our festivals, ensembles will perform for a rating and/or constructive comments from a panel of judges, and then receive an onstage clinic from one of the judges. Our aim is to provide a forum for high-quality musical assessment and growth that both students and directors alike will thoroughly enjoy. Please follow the steps below to register for one of our festivals, and we look forward to hosting you this spring!
