Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is the membership retroactive instead of just making it a 2-year deal?

Why is the membership retroactive instead of just making it a 2-year deal?
- Some people joined NBBA during the initial extended membership drive. Because of COVID, they have not the opportunity to experience the full benefits of membership. As such, we have included them in this new extended membership drive - think of it like them being grandfathered into the new extended term.
- No. Students may be eligible for scholarships from NBBA to offset some of the costs of attending such endeavours as: National Youth Band of Canada, summer music camps, private music instruction, or musical study at a post-secondary institution.
- Send an email to [email protected] with attachments and/or details about what you would like us to share. We would be very glad to help you promote and event or celebrate something exciting happening with your ensemble!
