Good luck finding a festival without some sort of band program. Aspen and Eastern are the only ones I know of. Why are you limiting yourself? Remember, diversity may be the key between you selling shoes or making a living playing the tuba. That little harangue being stated, Brevard Music Festival is top-notch as well as the Round Top Festival in TX. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think Matt Good teaches at Brevard. James Jenkins teaches at Eastern. James is a phenomenol teacher/player. I can't speak from experience about Mr. Good, but I have heard him play and he is a major MF. Hope this helps and take my advice as you wish.
