On Tuesday night, join other TBA families for a tasty Texas barbeque dinner,
a musical performance and activities for the kids. This traditional TBA night will
be held in the Lonesome Dove Room and surrounding areas of the convention
center. Dinner will be served 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. in CC Room 004. A ticket is
included in all Active, Retired and Spouse registrations. Additional tickets may
be purchased in the registration area through Monday. Everyone receiving a
plate must have a ticket.
The TBA Convention/Clinic has activities for every member of the family
to enjoy. Many families have made it a tradition and so the children of band
directors look forward to reuniting with friends each year. Children of Active
members age 17 and under coming to San Antonio with their parents for
the Convention/Clinic may receive a
free
badge to enter the Exhibit Hall and
attend clinics and concerts
with their parents
. TBA provides—free of charge—
professional childcare for infant children of Active members through age 12.
