Association of Concert Bands
http://www.acbands.org

The Association of Concert Bands (ACB) is a national organization dedicated to
encouraging and fostering adult community, municipal and civic bands and
musicians. Membership has its privileges, with different levels of
membership—individual ($30/yr), family ($45/yr), life ($1000), organizational
($50/yr or $275/yr), and corporate ($150/yr). The more expensive type of
organizational memberships comes with the BMI/ASCAP Blanket licensing agreement
that keeps community bands legal with performance fees. All types of memberships
come with a subscription to the Journal, voting privileges, and participation in
the annual convention and convention band. The Journal is published three times
a year, and includes articles about community bands from across the country;
festivals, concerts, band camps, reviews of music and CDs and other topics that
would be of interest to a community band musician. (Half year for half price
begins July 1.) For more information, visit the web site or contact Sarah
McElfresh, Regional Membership Coordinator for Pennsylvania at sarahmcelfresh
