About NABBA
Founded in 1983, the North American Brass Band Association has brought bands together for 46 years — a Championships every spring, a journal in between, and a community of players and conductors across the United States and Canada. This timeline is how we are gathering that story.
Work in progress. NABBA is assembling its history with the association's historian and the people who were there. What you see now is the spine: every Championships from our results records and every issue of The Brass Band Bridge, which we are mining for the stories between. Corrections, photographs and memories are welcome — write to us through the About page.
