About the QBA

The founding members of the Quebec Band Association (QBA) met initially at Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers (QPAT) in 2001. The group was spearheaded by Teresa Lescaudron, Renée Raymond and Lynne Tucker. They enthusiastically guided a group of band teachers toward what we have become today, a vibrant and significant voice on the educational horizon in Quebec.

Officially registered in 2004, we have enjoyed almost 10 years of exciting and meaningful musical experiences for both teachers and students. We look forward to celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2014.
