Since the inception of the Field Rep Program in 1994, it has been an essential component in the success of WSMA programs. Field Reps are retired music educators who continue to give their time, knowledge and experience in support of WSMA activities. Their expertise and enthusiasm has always been of the highest quality and we look forward to more involvement as the Associations move into the future.
