The National Leadership of Tau Beta Sigma is deeply saddened to announce the passing of our founder Wava Banes Turner Henry.
Wava's energy and love for the Sorority has inspired countless Sisters throughout the years, and as Sisters we will continue to enrich and improve music and band programs across the country. Wava's drive and dedication is a major influence of diversity in both Music and Band, and both are immeasurably better because of Wava.
Wava's greatest love was for her family, friends, and all those she mentored over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to her family and to all who were touched by her passion for life.
