Hello colleagues in the world of band directing! My name is Richard Goss, Region 1
Representative for the New York State Band Directors’ Association. Along with my full-time
duties as Director of Bands at Lancaster High School, I work with a steering committee of fine
Western NY directors to present an Annual Regional Workshop (9th Annual), supported by our
NYSBDA state organization. Due to the changes brought by the coronavirus pandemic, we have
moved our workshop to a virtual format, and have worked throughout the summer to create
up-to-the-moment and productive sessions to assist you in preparing for new realities
beginning in the fall of 2020.
The entire workshop of nationally recognized educators and Conn-Selmer Clinicians is FREE.
However, to plan appropriately, we will only admit those who have pre-registered for the two-
day workshop. We also attempted to make these sessions both work-friendly and family-
friendly, by placing them in the later afternoon and evening. So please peruse the attached digital poster/flyer, and then register and join us on August 25th and August 26th.
Sincerely,
Richard B. Goss
