WELCOME
TO THE NEW WEBSITE FOR THE NEDAA!
RECENT
NEWS:
Hello
and welcome to the NEDAA website. During the past year, we've been working
to improve and expand our programming to support our mission of support for
the active membership of the Northeast District of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau
Beta Sigma and the bands which they serve.
JOIN
THE MESSAGE BOARD!
In
order to improve communication between members, we've created a message board
on Yahoo! Groups. If you are interested in being a part of that list (where
alumni can communicate year round rather than only in the springtime) please
email Lansing Dimon [ President]
or Kathryn Garrett [Vice President -TBS]
to be added to the list.
During
this past year, we've included several initiatives designed to increase alumni
and active participation. For those who wish to continue playing and performing
after college, we have researched and included on this site a listing of
over 50 community bands, senior drum corps and other performing organiztions
open to college age members and older within our district. Please check out
the Links Page for those resources.
For
those of you who wish to keep on serving after your college years, this is
the place for YOU. Please contact any officer with questions or comments.

NATIONAL
CONVENTION AND NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE BAND GRANTS
The
NEDAA sponsors several grants for members of the Northeast District who are
interested in traveling to National Convention and the National Intercollegiate
Band. The NEDAA supports four $100 grants for brothers and sisters: two for
a brother and a sister for the NIB, and two for a brother and a sister to
travel to National Convention.
Grants
are selected based on essay submissions from interested brothers and sisters.
We are currently in the process of selecting an essay topic, and plan on
announcing the essay topics in early May. Essays will be due before the June
1st registration deadline for National Convention. Winning entries will be
announced by the end of June.
If
you are interested in learning more about these grants, please contact me
