The World Association of Marching Show Bands is an international band association dedicated to promoting global communication and interaction between marching show bands. The Association aims to encourage active participation in marching show bands universally, to strengthen the movement internationally and to stimulate the staging of world class band events. Membership is open to Directors of marching show bands whose bands participate, or are interested in partaking in high calibre events around the world.

Purpose

  • To identify, recognize and honour outstanding marching show bands that exhibit world class excellence at the international level.

  • To enhance the performance and interaction of Marching Show Bands at a world wide level.
  • To encourage the development of "World Class Band Events" held in conjunction with "Internationally" recognized events throughout the world.

  • To establish the required standards for the judgment and performance rating of Marching Show Bands at such sanctioned events.
  • To approve standards of operations used at sanctioned events.
  • To consult with, and be a resource for such sanctioned events.
