The National Association of Brass Band Conductors (NABBC) was relaunched on 6 November 2020 with the new name 'Brass Band Conductors' Association (BBCA), complete with new branding. As well as bringing the organisation up-to-date this marks the launch of a new programme of events and offerings from the organisation.
The relaunch took place during the zoom webinar 'Keep calm and carry on banding', which is available to view here:
The Association partnered with BBE in October 2019, which saw the two bodies coming together to develop educational opportunities for conductors. In addition to BBE providing administrative support, the arrangement means that all members of the BBCA now receive individual membership of BBE, which is included in the cost of their existing membership. This brings benefits such as a free professional DBS check, access to member resources and virtual networking sessions, as well as discounts at BBE and BBCA events such as the annual Conducting Competition.
