THE ALL-STAR BRASS BANDS EDUCATIONAL FUND

Founded in 1986 by Dr. Eric Aho, the All-Stars were the first all-student honors group organized in the previous 170-year history of brass bands in the United States. The All-Star Bands were formed with the vision to foster the education of brass and percussion students through the brass band medium. As a consequence, the All-Stars have become the most awarded youth brass bands in North America... The All-Star Brass Bands have been members of the North American Brass Band Association (NABBA), established in 1983, which has member bands in Canada and the United States. NABBA is the North American equivalent of the Brass Band Associations of Great Britain, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Dr. Aho is the former editor of the NABBA newsletter, The Bridge, and a former NABBA Board Member.
