What is the SCSBOA?

We believe that aesthetic education through instrumental music performance is essential to

the school curriculum. Our mission is to provide educational leadership to the membership

of the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association. To fulfill our mission, we

provide opportunities for professional growth through developmental resources. These

resources include: conferences, clinics, publications, performance evaluation, association

with institutions of higher learning and interaction with professional musicians.

We provide enrichment opportunities which present outstanding student musicians as

models for all instrumental programs. We also provide resources to assist with the

development and/or evaluation of curriculum should it be requested by a school or district.

• SCSBOAsponsors band, orchestra, solo and ensemble, district and regional festivals.

• We select and train approved adjudicators for band, orchestra, solo and ensemble

festivals and for parade and field event competitions.

•SCSBOA maintains a continuing program to evaluate and update the adjudication forms

being used for band and orchestra festivals and competitions.

•We sponsor clinics and workshops for in-service training of teachers of instrumental

music.

•SCSBOAsponsors the SCSBOA High School Honor Groups, the SCSBOA Middle School

Honor Groups, the SCSBOA Elementary Honor Groups, and the SCSBOA Honor Jazz

Ensembles.

1937

1937…the first Social Security payments in the U.S. were issued; Daffy Duck made his debut; U.S. steel workers were given a raise

to $5 per day; NBC created the first full-size symphony orchestra for radio audiences; Joe Dimaggio hit his first grand slam.

America continued to reel from the effects of the Great Depression, and the Dust Bowls of the Great Plains forced thousands of

families to seek shelter and work far from their homesteads and families. Yet, on the cam- pus of Los Angeles Junior College,

fifteen music educators came together to create what would become the

premiere music organization in California, the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association. As a member

of the SCSBOA, you are a recipient of their dream!

The first honor band was created in 1937,made up of high school students from Southern California and within a year, solo and

ensemble festivals as well as band and orchestra festivals became the priority of the SCSBOA’s Board of Directors. Their vision

was clear: creating a viable list of music to be used for festival and sightreading; developing a qualified judging pool;

determining which grade levels would be eligible for festival participation. By the end of 1939, these visions were in fact

realities and again, the Board of Directors, along with a growing membership pushed forward with newgoals.

The Board of Directors introduced the first Southern California high school honor orchestra concert broadcast on nationwide

radio and a “Three-Month Plan” where elementary, junior high and high school music education was the focus, culminating

in a conference type meeting held every three months for specific grade levels. The Board of Directors continued to push

forward with new ideas and dreams never accepting that the job was complete.

While the marching band movement has gained tremendous popularity, festivals continue to grow as well. Major changes

to the by-laws have been instituted throughout the past eighty years. New scoring systems have been introduced and

coordinators hired to assist with the ever-growing needs of the SCSBOA. These changes have kept the SCSBOA in existence

for over eighty years. We keep growing and moving forward!

Little could the original fifteen gentlemen of the first SCSBOA have known that eighty one years later, music and its

educational components encompass far more than band and orchestra, drums and violins. From garage bands to

computerized and technologically oriented compositions, music and all its facets have evolved tremendously.

Yet, it’s not so much about the parades, field events or festivals, but more about the journey the SCSBOA continues to take

because of the vision. Each generation, Board of Directors and Music Educator brings a new energy and goals to those dreams

from 1937. That energy has made the SCSBOA the standard bearer not only in Southern California but nationwide. Be part of

the vision – you matter. Be part of the legacy of the Southern California School Band & Orchestra Association!

Greetings from President, Jeanne ChristensenWelcome to the Annual SCSBOA Professional Development Conference! Over the two-day conference, you will

have the opportunity to choose from 72 different session offerings. You will be able to listen to guest artists from

around the country, engage in meaningful dialogue with peers, and sit in and watch one of the many Honor Groups

rehearse by this year’s incredible conductors. I encourage you to attend one or more of the Honor Concerts with

close to 850 of Southern California’s best student musicians involved.

The SCSBOA Board of Directors has been planning this conference over the past several months. We are very

excited to bring you a thoughtful, meaningful, and educationally rich experience. The conference is designed for

the music educator first. Each hour you will find a session that will have you thinking about new ideas, sharing

what works in your classroom, and more. Our guest artists, conductors, and speakers will help provide a place

where like-minded educators can gather, where music education can be celebrated, and where we can talk to one

another and open up about the joys (and failures) of what we do. Let’s celebrate our strengths and continue to

grow as an Association and as professionals.

If this is your first conference, then welcome! If you are a veteran educator, welcome back! Either way, I challenge

you to go up to someone new and open a dialogue. It’s how we all build community and how we learn to

collaborate together.

SCSBOA believes in music education and the power of music. Thank you for your continued support of SCSBOA

and the performance opportunities you help us provide to thousands of students throughout Southern California.

Our Association is rich in tradition of bringing music education to the highest level of excellence. This year is no

exception.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, enjoy the conference!

Boston Brass

Friday, January 17, 2020

Grand Ballroom 5:00 p.m.

For more than 30 years, Boston Brass has set out to establish a one-of-a-kind musical experience. Performing

exciting classical arrangements to burning jazz standards, Boston Brass treats audiences to a unique brand of

entertainment, captivating all ages. The ensemble's lively repartee, touched with humor and personality,

attempts to bridge the ocean of classical formality to delight audiences in an evening of great music and

boisterous fun. The philosophy of Boston Brass is to provide audiences with a wide selection of musical styles

in unique arrangements in a friendly and fun atmosphere.

Through over 100 performances each year, the members of Boston Brass play to audiences at concerts,

educational venues and jazz festivals. In addition to solo performances, Boston Brass regularly performs with

orchestras, wind ensembles, brass bands, marching bands and a variety of other ensembles. They have

performed in nearly every U.S. state and more than 30 countries and have conducted master classes around the

world, including sessions and residencies at the Eastman School of Music, The Julliard School, The Shepherd

School of Music at Rice University, Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, University of North Texas,

Royal Academy of Music in London, Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music at the National University of

Singapore, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand.

Boston Brass is a Yamaha Performing Group and has been featured educators and performers at The Midwest Clinic

International Band and Orchestra Conference, World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles Conference,

Japan Band Clinic, National Association for Music Education National Conference, American Bandmasters Association

Convention, American Band College, Western International Band Clinic and Texas Bandmasters Association

Convention.

Boston Brass has been featured on CBS's The Early Show and National Public Radio's Performance Today as well as at

the Great American Brass Band Festival. The group has recorded many diverse albums. Their recording Concerto

Grosso is a collaboration with Eric Rombach-Kendall and the University of New Mexico Wind

Ensemble. Reminiscing is a tribute to Rolf Smedvig of the Empire Brass. Rewired features new arrangements by the

members of Boston Brass. Latin Nights features a collection of some of the greatest classical and jazz works by Latin

composers and performers and features the legendary drummer Steve Gadd, the beautiful voice of Talita Real,

percussion and guitar. Other albums include Ya Gotta Try (featuring music from Horace Silver, Chick Corea and Dizzy

Gillespie; produced by legendary jazz recording genius Rudy van Gelder) and Within Earshot (featuring classical works

by Shostakovich, Ginastera, Dvořák, Liszt and others).

Boston Brass has multiple holiday recordings, including Christmas Bells are Swingin' and The Stan Kenton Christmas

Carols, featuring the Boston Brass All-Stars Big Band playing the truly phenomenal charts made popular by Stan

Kenton and His Orchestra. Boston Brass tours a vibrant holiday show each year, featuring many of the charts from their

holiday albums combined with a variety of solo and combo selections as well as some fun surprises. This has quickly

established the show as a perennial audience favorite.

2011 marked the 25th Anniversary of Boston Brass and was celebrated with the "25 Fanfares Project," wherein 25

fanfares written by composers from all over the country were premiered. The group also premiered a new major

commission by noted wind ensemble composer Brian Balmages and new arrangements by the legendary Sam Pilafian.

Additionally, Boston Brass was very excited to have the opportunity to collaborate in the 2010/2011 season with the

fabulous Imani Winds in a program entitled Sketches of Spain, featuring the music of Miles Davis and Gil Evans. In the

2012/2013 season, the quintet began touring their Notes from the Balcony program with the Enso String Quartet. The

program featured music based on Romeo and Juliet

Conductor-Sameer Patel

Manager-Deborah Carnahan, East Whittier Middle School

Percussion Manager-Matthew Armstrong, San Marcos USD

most exciting young conductors.

In the 2019-2020 season, Sameer begins his role as the Artistic Director of the Hot Springs Music Festival and continues

as Associate Conductor of the Sun Valley Music Festival. He recently concluded an acclaimed tenure as Associate

Conductor of the San Diego Symphony, where he reinvigorated the orchestra's programming and connection with its

community. Abroad, he has conducted acclaimed performances with the

Orchestra Sinfonica di Sanremo, the Orchestra Giovanile Italiana, the Leipziger Sinfonieorchester, and others. With an

unending enthusiasm for understanding the music of our time, Sameer has curated programs and has championed music

by living composers such as Adam Schoenberg, Anna Clyne, Mason Bates, Ellen Reid, Hannah Lash, Tan Dun, and

others.

Sameer’s impressive work spans three continents and has led to recognition from the Solti Foundation U.S., which granted him three consecutive Career Assistance Awards and an Elizabeth Buccheri Opera Residency with North Carolina Opera. In 2016 he was recognized by Daniele Gatti as a top conductor at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, Italy, which led to his acclaimed professional debut with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Sanremo.

That same year, Sameer was one of only six conductors selected by the League of American Orchestras for the Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, which led to subsequent, multiple engagements with that orchestra.
