North American Brass Band Championships
The North American Brass Band Championships (NABBC) is the premier contest event for British-style brass bands across the United States, Canada, and beyond. Held annually, the championships bring together top-tier ensembles to compete in graded divisions, showcasing musical excellence, technical precision, and artistic expression. Bands perform set test pieces and own-choice works before a panel of internationally recognized adjudicators. More than just a competition, NABBC is a celebration of community, tradition, and the evolving artistry of the brass band movement in North America.
