ABA Music Performance Registration

Registration will open November 20, 2024. Those that have registered should receive an updated invoice with correct information.

The purpose of the Alabama Bandmasters Music Performance Assessment is to give bands the opportunity to be evaluated and critiqued by a panel of qualified adjudicators. The panel shall consist of three (3) concert adjudicators, with one being the Head Adjudicator, and one (1) sight-reading adjudicator. The head adjudicator will be assigned to each MPA site by the ABA President and VP/President-elect. The remaining stage adjudicators and the sight-reading adjudicator for each site will be contracted by the District Chairmen. All Music Performance Assessment Adjudicators must be selected from the approved ABA Music Performance Assessment Adjudicators List.
