2024 TBA STUDENT MELODY COMPETITION

The 2024 TBA National Student Melody Competition, sponsored by the Texas Bandmasters Association and Conn Selmer, invites students in grades 6-12 from the state of Texas who are enrolled in an instrumental music program during the 2023-24 school year to submit original melodies. The winning melody will be used as thematic material for a wind ensemble piece and premiered during the Texas Bandmasters Association Annual Convention by the United States Air Force Band of the West.

Entries will be evaluated by a committee of professional composers and music educators based on originality, creativity, phrasing, and overall appeal. The winning composer, their parent/guardian, and their school band director will receive an all expense paid trip to San Antonio to attend the Convention and premiere performance.
