The Belmont University Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Barry Kraus, was invited to perform as part of the 2020 College Band Directors National Association Southern Division Conference at Northwestern State University in Louisiana in February.
This marks the first regional conference performance invitation extended to the Wind Ensemble in school history.
The ensemble was one of twelve collegiate bands selected via audio recordings by a panel of conductors through competitive blind audition.
The CBDNA Southern Division includes schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
