Northeast Iowa music educators band keeps big band sound alive
The Northeast Iowa Music Educators' band formed in 1978 to raise funds for school music departments by playing benefit dances and concerts. Conductor William L. Stusak notes the group, drawn from IBA member districts, performs about 12 to 14 events yearly, reviving Glenn Miller and Count Basie era big band music for area audiences.
