    Event Details:
    The Birch Bay Band Workshop started over 55 years ago as a way for band teachers to hear the new band works that have been published and to share ideas and stories from the classroom. The tradition continues this year featuring Larry Gookin and Leo Dodd as clinicians. We will also have a special workshop featuring Peter Boonshaft.

    To many directors, the time outside of the classroom or rehearsal hall is just as important as the music. During this time, stories and ideas are shared, and friendships are made.

    Over the years, the Birch Bay Band Workshop has developed many traditions, such as the Monday night Pizza Party, Tuesday golf tournament with the Yamaha Hole-in-One contest, Wednesday night jazz jam session overlooking Birch Bay, and the Thursday evening salmon barbecue on the beach.

    Bring your instrument and your family to join us for a fantastic week of music reading.
