The purpose of this bootcamp is to provide useful information to new band directors as they prepare for the upcoming school year!

This one-day event is designed to cover a broad range of topics from assessing your program, navigating KSHSAA and KMEA events, Q&A with second year and veteran teachers, and so much more. Directors in their first through third year are welcome, though the bootcamp is geared more towards first year directors. This year’s bootcamp schedule will be emailed out to participants in beginning of May.

Registration is open and is FREE, but you will need to be a member of the Kansas Bandmasters Association. Your KBA First Year Membership is also: FREE. Lunch will be provided FREE of charge for band directors entering their first year!

This is an excellent opportunity to start your career with some of the best teachers, leaders, and mentors in the state standing by your side. We hope to see you in Wichita on July 10th!
