Branding/Scarification is the modification of the human body through burning, cutting or other types of abrasion to the human skin and other areas. Branding/Scarification has increased risk of infection, slow healing third degree burns, internal injury, unintended permanent disfiguring deformities, and other medical issues. It is seen as causing “physical harm and discomfort” or providing a “physical shock” as outlined in the above policy. The practice of Branding/Scarification or other forms of body modification that are associated with Kappa Kappa Psi/Tau Beta Sigma in an unlicensed environment are “not consistent with academic or musical achievement; Kappa Kappa Psi/Tau Beta Sigma law, ritual or policy; or the regulations and policies of the educational institution, band program, or applicable state law.” Consequently, those who engage in the act of branding/scarification or other forms of modification in relation to Kappa Kappa Psi/Tau Beta Sigma could be found in violation of Kappa Kappa Psi/Tau Beta Sigma policy and are subject to action from the National Council. This includes forced or coerced body modification at licensed establishments. The Stance on Branding/Scarification is available for download by clicking HERE.

ΚΚΨ Brothers,
ΚΚΨ Brothers: I am proud to announce the installation of the Rho Chapter, Chapter #17, at Tulane University. The installation took place on the campus of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday, 20 February 2010. Many thanks to the Beta Gamma Chapter (Louisiana State University) for serving as the advising chapter for the now Rho Chapter and to Burt Daigle for his work as the advising person. The Fraternity appreciates your substantial support of Rho Chapter, as well your work with previous colonies. The Installation Ceremony was attended by many guests including parents, faculty members, potential future Brothers and current Brothers from chapters including Beta Gamma (Louisiana State), Lambda Xi (Southeastern Louisiana), Theta Phi (Henderson State) and Iota Upsilon (McNeese State). Congratulations, welcomes and greetings can be sent to the Rho Chapter through their President, Allison Feibus (afeibus@tulane.edu). Rho Chapter is the fourth chapter installed in the 2009-2011 biennium. It was my pleasure to serve as the Installing Officer for this newest addition to our Fraternity, and I look forward to their contributions to the Brotherhood over the years to come.
CBDNA Music Symposium The CBDNA Music Education Committee was formed one year ago to address the challenge of developing and leading initiatives promoting the core values of musical artistry and creativity in school band programs. One of the Committees specific recommendations was to develop a series of Summer Music Education Symposium in collaboration with institutions of higher education. These symposia would serve as an artistic and creative resources for public school band programs, provide a forum for exploring and defining our educational priorities, and assisting in offering experiences that will develop the skills in important areas of instruction such as repertoire selection, score study, rehearsal techniques, instrumental pedagogy, and use of technology. The CBDNA Board has approved funding to support this initiative for the next three summers. The inaugural symposium, The Art of Wind Band Teaching Symposium, will be held at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis from July 25-29, 2010. In addition to a track for experienced music educators, The CBDNA Music Education Committee has developed a reduced tuition Fellowship Program for gifted senior Music Education Majors. Participants in this portion of the program will network with experienced teachers and attend special sessions that address the complex issues facing first-year music educators.
