Send the University of Saskatchewan Wind Orchestra to WASBE

The University of Saskatchewan Wind Orchestra has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support its trip to the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE) conference in San Jose, California.

RocketHub campaign page: Send the University of Saskatchewan Wind Orchestra to WASBE!

The Wind Orchestra was among 15 ensembles from around the world selected through a blind peer-reviewed application, and will be attending the conference from July 13-20, 2015.

WASBE is one of the most prestigious international music organizations that is dedicated to the performance, study, and pedagogy of wind band, which makes an invitation to their bi-annual conference extremely humbling and exciting. The ensemble will be partaking in many events while attending the conference, but most importantly they will give two concerts. One will be an official Wind Orchestra performance, and the other an exclusive repertoire session to preview brand new works for wind band.

The orchestra's RocketHub campaign has a goal of $100,000 and an end date of March 31, 2015.
