ABOUT US
Our organization is comprised of high school and middle school band directors from within KMEA's second district. Our district encompasses Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, Hopkins, McLean, Ohio, Union and Webster counties.
Each year, the SDBDA hosts an All-District Band for Middle and High School Band Students. Annually, KMEA hosts a Second District Concert Band Festival where schools from our district and others are adjudicated in concert performance, and a Solo and Ensemble Festival that allows our students the chance to perform alone and in small groups.
For a full listing of our members and their schools, see our Member directory page

Our Fall 2020 All District Audition music and other info can be found here.
Also- A HUGE shoutout to Ky Wesleyan College Music faculty for recording these etudes for our students.
The College Music department youtube site is here.
All State auditions will occur in December and will be run by KMEA. They will be Virtual auditions. Check with your individual band director for details, process, etc. They are open to all 9-12 graders who have learned the All State audition music.
Due to the current situation with the pandemic, the Second District Band Director’s Association (SDBDA) has decided to pospone our mid-Nov 2020 audition process. The SDBDA plan to host a virtual audition, in the late winter or spring, to recognize students who successfully prepared the 6-8, 9-10, and 11-12 district bands audition music. These bands may (or may not) meet “in-person” based on pandemic circumstances as they evolve.
