…and the NABBA Board is working to add more member benefits.

Individual Membership

There are two types of individual memberships for NABBA. The Individual Membership ($50/year) is for anyone wishing to join NABBA and is renewable annually. This is required in order to perform at the NABBA Championships, and gives you access to member-only portions of the website. The NABBA Board is working to add more member benefits.

An alternate option to renewing annually is the Lifetime Membership ($900), which does not expire until you do.

Band Membership

The Band Membership ($60/year) is for band managers and administrators only. This is required to enter a band into the NABBA Championships and adds your band to the list of NABBA member bands.

New bands should create a Band Membership account — click the button below to check out and create an account.
If you already have an account, make sure you log in before completing the checkout process.
If your subscription ran out, check out again and your band will automatically be reactivated.
