SCSBOA (Southern California Band and Orchestra Association) is the main organization in the instrumental music field. Almost all of the band directors employed in southern California are members of the organization. This organization is comprised of Musicians and educators currently working in the field and is a great network of people in the biz. They host honor bands, festivals where bands compete, and most importantly they have a conference in both the fall and the winter. I have attended the conferences in years past but missed them both this past year. There I get to see a lot of old music friends that I have played with in the past along with teachers in my area that I get to network with. Every conference is booked with workshops that deal with specific issues which music educators face. Such as Drum set techniques, how to purchase a good string instrument, getting parents involved, or even performances of new music literature that is being sold. Unfortunately there is not a specific website outlining the conference, the main information is usually mailed out and things usually do not get onto the website as soon as I would like.
