WASBE
“
For decades, CWU’s music program has been well-known across the state and region. This year they had the opportunity to earn international recognition when the CWU Wind Ensemble traveled to South Korea to showcase their talent at the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE) Conference. One of only two schools from the United States invited to the conference, 49 students represented CWU and gained a unique learning experience unlike anything they have experienced before.
The trip has honestly changed my life quite a bit. One thing I decided once we returned to the US was that when I become a jazz band director, I want to take my band to a foreign country and blow people away the same way we did. It was an incredible experience. It made me want to get my life together to achieve the same kind of success that Dr. Feagin has achieved.” Josh DeQuiroz (’26) Music Education and Performance Major Jazz Studies Certificate
“
Receiving an invitation to WASBE is among the highest achievements in the wind band community. For a small university band from a rural town to be considered among the best in the world is such an amazing honor. But for us to perform as well as we did on the world stage was truly incredible. I couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished.”
