ARRANGEHERS FOR BAND DIRECTORS

Creating opportunities for students on on-traditional jazz instruments is key to expanding gender representation.

Apply here for assistance with creating new parts for these students (violin, F Horn, bassoon, clarinet, oboe, etc..) or to create arrangements of tunes that work for your instrumentation this year.
