The Brass Band Bridge is the official publication of the North American Brass Band Association.

All NABBA members and member bands are welcome to submit these and other items for publication in the Bridge. News from non-member bands may be included if space permits.

The Brass Band Bridge is published on a flexible schedule, allowing information to be delivered to the NABBA membership in a timely manner. There are no fewer than four issues a year, including three major issues published in May/June (contest review), October (announcement of contest test pieces) and March (pre-contest issue). The deadline submission of materials for inclusion in the next issue of The Brass Band Bridge is posted in each issue and on this web page.

Materials must be submitted as Microsoft Word documents and photos must be submitted as JPEG files (300 dpi resolution, no smaller than approximately 600 x 450 in size).
