MBDA embraces its role as a resource for MN band directors listening and learning about areas needing improvement. We further commit to take actions on what is learned, including making adjustments to our policies and practices.
MBDA stands with our BIPOC students, families and colleagues in the shadow of the loss of another young Black man who was shot and killed by law enforcement in Brooklyn Center on Sunday. Daunte Wright’s life and Black lives matter.
