Symphonic Winds Invited to Play at National College Band Directors Conference

The Boise State Symphonic Winds has been selected to perform at the 2011 National Conference of the College Band Directors National Association in Seattle March 23-26.  The 65-member student group is one of eight from across the nation invited to perform.

“This is our equivalent of receiving an invitation to play at the Fiesta Bowl," says Marcellus Brown, conductor and professor of music at Boise State.  "It is an honor and a significant accomplishment to be selected to perform at a national conference, and is a true barometer of the growth and quality of teaching at Boise State.  

The Symphonic Winds will perform two original works as part of a 50-minute program that will feature Leslie Moreau, a professor of clarinet at Boise State and an internationally recognized soloist.
