The Ontario Band Association (OBA) is a network of music leaders dedicated to inspiring, enriching and connecting students and educators to share, explore, and enhance the experience of music through bands.
Symposiums
The OBA hosts two major symposiums every year: Beginning Band
Symposium and York/OBA Wind Conducting Symposium, and is starting a
brand new event: Capital Region/OBA Wind Band Symposium. All these
events offer music educators the chance to enhance their abilities with the experience
and advice of an expert clinician.
