Brandon University has launched this year’s “Destination BU” video challenge, celebrating the unique journeys international students take to get to BU.

This competition invites international students to create a short, social-media–style video showcasing their paths from their home country to their arrival on campus. It’s a great way to connect with others, celebrate your experience, and inspire future international students.

The Brandon University Student Music Educators Association (BUSMEA), in partnership with the Westman Band Directors Association (WMBDA), instrumental music teachers, and stakeholders in the Westman region, are proud to announce the launch of a national Beginning Band Composition Competition, with a submission deadline of Nov. 1, 2025.

This landmark initiative coincides with two major milestones for BUSMEA: the organization’s 40th anniversary and the 20th annual Da Capo Conference, hosted by the Brandon University School of Music.
