Designed for wind band teachers of all levels,
the five-day symposium includes full-band and chamber conducting opportunities, as well as open rehearsals and discussion sessions with master teachers. Activities appeal to the dual roles of musician and educator and provide a growth experience for anyone interested in the art of teaching and conducting.

AVAILABLE TRACK OPTIONS
Applicants may elect the Blue Track or the Gold Track.
Cost for the Blue Track is $550.
Cost for the Gold Track is $250.
BLUE TRACK
Participants in the Blue Track conduct in small-group sessions and four times with either the workshop wind ensemble or chamber winds. There are 24 spots available in the blue track, and they are awarded to teachers with at least one year of experience on an application basis; this allows us to create a community of learners with diversity of demographics, aspirations, and experiences.
GOLD TRACK
Participants in the Gold Track conduct in small-group sessions or may choose instead to play and observe, rather than conduct. Many pre-professional teachers and first-time attendees choose this option, as well as experienced teachers who wish to engage with the content and support the growth of their colleagues without having to take a turn on the podium. Applicants who are not selected for the blue track may subsequently opt for the gold track.
STUDENT FELLOWSHIPS
The fellowship program enables up to eight undergraduate or graduate student conductors to attend at the significantly reduced cost of $150. Fellows conduct in small-group sessions and once with either the workshop wind ensemble or chamber winds and participate in all other sessions, providing an introduction to the conducting workshop experience and invaluable opportunities to network with more experienced teachers in the Blue and Gold Tracks.
Students interested in a fellowship should ask their college band director of conducting teacher to e-mail a brief letter of endorsement for their participation in the workshop to tjcross@ucla.edu. Applications will be reviewed on the same timeline as the Blue Track.
