The Collegiate Music Educators National Conference students at FAMU make an annual trip to the Midwest Band Conference to Chicago each year in December. The cost of the trip (including registration) ranges between $13-15,000. Giving to help our students attend this conference helps them to expand their network, and gives them the encouragement and guidance to help them become better musicians and band directors who will send their students back to their alma mater.

Deadline for this year’s conference is December 1, 2010.
