The National Band Council of Australia (NBCA) is the national organisation representing the brass and concert bands of Australia and is dedicated to the promotion, fellowship, and development of community banding throughout Australia. The council is also responsible for the operation of national band contests, marching contests and solo and party competitions. The National Band Council of Australia exists to: Prior to the advent of the NBCA, many of the Australian states had formed their own band associations (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia). The four state governing bodies recognised the need for a unifying national council that could provide a universal set of contest rules and regulations, and apply them across Australia. Although there were several failed attempts, the Australian Band Council (ABC) was formed in New South Wales on 13 April 1934. In order to avoid confusion with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the name of the organization was changed to the National Band Council of Australia (NBCA) in 1968. The organisation's committee now meets bi-annually to review and update the constitution related the conduct of on-stage and marching contests, as well as the drill and marching regulations. Any changes decided at the meeting are subsequently circulated to all State Associations. More information...
