In 2007 we met our goal of providing an essential summer opportunity for band
directors looking to improve their teaching effectiveness in
the classroom. Based on the positive feedback we received, we were able to transform the professional lives of our participants in meaningful
ways.

The Concordia music staff truly is professional, the pinnacle of sincerity and high standards that encouraged even the most veteran teacher to continue to want to strive to be better. |

The Wind Band Institute is a remarkable meeting point for some incredible names in the band world with those of us in the trenches. I grew as a conductor and a musician, assembling a vast array of information on all aspects of the wind band. |
