Intriguing. When will you have a tentative fall schedule available? What directors/schools are spearheading this organization?

Apparently, despite their name, only the northern half of California is golden enough. Their mission:

"The mission of this association is for regional Band Directors to have an alternative for professionally adjudicated performance venues in Northern California and the Bay Area for Field Show, Concert, Jazz and Orchestra Performances."
"The conductor of an orchestra doesn't make a sound. He depends for his power on his ability to make other people powerful." - Benjamin Zander

We hope to expand, but for now it is based in Northern California.

I don't want to seem persnickety, but who are the people behind this endeavor? And with options such as CMEA, BOA's extension in northern CA, and others, what need is this organization filling?

It makes me wonder what kind of adjudication they had in northern CA before this new group started up?
