The Cadet Program provides opportunities for youth to gain valuable knowledge and skills that build confidence and help pave the way in a transition to adulthood. Cadets engage in varied and unique experiences, while developing competencies in leadership, citizenship, and physical and mental fitness. Offering positive youth development programs, sea, army, and air cadet corps and squadrons are in communities across Canada.
In addition to their core training, cadets can enrich their experience by participating in our optional music programs, including the Military Band (Brass & Reed), and Pipe Band programs. Through these musical endeavors, cadets can achieve Cadet Music Proficiency Levels, paving the way for them to become instructors for their fellow cadets.
Our music programs rely on the expertise of dedicated individuals, both civilians and Canadian Armed Forces Reservists, who possess a knowledge of music. These professionals play a crucial role in our organization and receive pay for their valuable contributions. They take on various responsibilities, such as leading local corps/squadron bands, delivering virtual music theory classes, conducting weekend lessons/masterclasses, providing essential support for our annual band competitions, and supporting our summer Cadet Training Centres.
Come speak to our staff at our booth to find out more about the Cadet Program and ways to get involved.

This year, we are celebrating three decades of incredible memories, milestones, and music. As we reflect on the past and look forward to the future, we can’t help but feel immense appreciation for our customers. Thank you for being an integral part of our musical adventure!
It all started in 1994. Fueled by a passion for music and a vision to make quality orchestral and band instruments and accessories accessible to Canadians, George Ulmann founded Counterpoint Musical Services, a Canadian musical wholesale distribution company focusing on personal, friendly service.
The company was started by George Ullmann and Jean-Marie Barker, former colleagues at Boosey and Hawkes Canada. In the beginning, Counterpoint encompassed both a wholesale distribution and a rental musical library and publishing division.  In 2008, Jean-Marie bought the publishing division from George and it continues to operate today as Counterpoint Music Library Services.  At that time, Counterpoint represented such brands as Thomastik-Infeld, Wittner, Superslick, Blessing and Bohemia violins. Over the years, it has expanded to represent more than 80 brands, including some of the industry’s most respected and in-demand products including Thomastik-Infeld, Pirastro, Stentor, Légère reeds, Wittner, Bam cases, BG France, Rovner, Kun, Harpsicle Harps and Seydel Harmonicas. 
In 2012, Adam Berlin purchased the company from George Ulmann and has continued the mission to offer top-quality products and friendly customer service. 
Today, Counterpoint Music stands as a trusted and preferred wholesale distributor in the Canadian orchestral and band music scene. The company's commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction has solidified its reputation as a go-to resource for musicians, retailers, and industry professionals alike. 
To commemorate our 30th anniversary, we will be releasing an exclusive anniversary Canadian collection of best-selling products we’re sure your customers will love. Stay tuned to get them before they’re gone!

Eastman Music Company
By the time an Eastman instrument reaches the player, dozens of expert craftspeople have had a hand in bringing it to the peak of its sound, playability, and beauty.
The Eastman workshop operates in precisely the same manner as late 19th century European workshops. Chisels, knives, and scrapers, in the hands of outstandingly gifted craftspeople, are the primary tools used to create these modern instruments.
These techniques impart each model with a beautiful voice and appearance that can only be achieved by hand. As in the shops of master luthiers for the past five hundred years, Eastman honors this tradition everyday.

Educational World Tours
Educational World Tours has been specializing in international tour packages for students & educational trips since 2002.
We believe travel plays an integral part in education. Any excursion out of the classroom is remembered by students as among the highlights of their education. Not only is it a break from the norm, but it also provides a profound and unique learning opportunity: travel can develop social and team-building skills, stimulate personal growth, bring new perspective about the world and its many cultures and customs, and ultimately revitalize interest and passion in the very activity of learning. Travel can broaden horizons.
Organizing an educational school trip can prove a challenging endeavour, but our student tour specialists take care of all the details from initial contact through to tour feedback and review on your return home, allowing teachers to focus on educating, with minimal additional homework to do. You will be designated an Educational World Tours travel specialist, who will be on-hand to assist throughout the entire process: from creating a customized itinerary to suit your educational travel requirements, pre-trip consultation and logistical organization, through to full trip support, and post-tour follow-up. For even greater peace of mind, one of our team members can also accompany your group on tour.
Our well-travelled Educational World Tours team has a huge breadth of destination expertise and decades of experience planning student group tours. Of primary importance to our operation and philosophy is the safety and comfort of your group – as such, we only partner with reliable service providers with proven safety records who adhere to industry-approved safety standards.
As of 2018, Educational World Tours has been incorporated into the Adventures Abroad Group, a cultural tour specialist founded in 1987 whose broad network of international travel contacts and suppliers can now be leveraged to benefit our valued EWT clients.
