The Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association (SCSBOA) provides a number of services for elementary through college level instrumental music groups in Southern California, including providing clinics for educators and students and hosting festivals for soloists and ensembles, including marching band competitions.
Students accepted into the groups often demonstrate their expertise in their instruments as well as their motivation to take music to a higher degree.
Numerous new musical works have been commissioned for these honor groups over the years to include Double Helix which was published by CPP Belwin.
Many bands strive to be selected for the SCSBOA Field Show Championships, held the mid-November of each year.
