South Australian Band Association

The South Australian Band Association is the governing body for community Brass and Concert Bands in South Australia.

Our aim is to promote, nurture and encourage the banding movement in South Australia so that we may all grow and prosper.  We do this by supporting bands, organising State and National competitions and providing representation for our members. 
​
There are bodies similar to the SA Band Association in all other States of Australia, although the names may vary from State to State. These State Governing Bodies all join to form the National Band Council of Australia.

Special Notice:
The Banding Community of South Australia mourns the loss of a true legend.
Ron Arthur dedicated his life to the Brass Band movement; no one has given more to the movement.
His work developing young Brass players and creating in them a love of Brass Band music will never be forgotten.
On behalf of all South Australians, thankyou Ron for the outstanding contribution you have made to music in our State.  Read more about the many years of service Ron provided to the banding community in Bonded By Brass - Ron - Arthur.

2021 Yamaha State Championships - Cancelled
The SABA Executive has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 State Band Championships. 
It has not been an easy decision, but timings for rehearsal preparation and the business of bands during October and November make it very difficult to schedule.
We thank bands again for their understanding and patience as we negotiate our way through these uncertain times.

​The SA Band Association is grateful for the generous support it receives from:
