USBands, formally United States Scholastic Band Association and sometimes referred to as USSBA, was formed in the Fall 1988 to provide high school an opportunity to compete in a circuit featuring top judges from across the continent. USBands is based in Concord, CA and is a programming offering of BD Performing Arts.
USBands includes over 700 participating high school marching bands. Bands are offered over 200 opportunities per year including competitions and clinics.
In competitions, bands are classified by size and compete with bands within their classification. The classes include range from Group 1, the smallest, to Group 5, the largest. Bands are also classified by skill level. The skill classifications include the Regional A Class for inexperienced bands, A Class for bands that have recently moved to a larger size group and the Open class for established programs. In total, there are 15 classifications ranging from Group I Regional A to Group V Open, who perform and compete with bands of similar size and talent.
USBands has also begun supporting competitive indoor events, and provides cooperative fundraising opportunities. In the winter of 2012, USSBA changed their name to USBands.
