Bandworld Magazine Then and Now
The premier issue of Bandworld Magazine appeared in August of 1985 as a free publication sent to nearly 25,000 band direc- tors throughout the United States. It always contained at least one full band arrangement lots of useful materials for teachers and students. Starting in 2004, we became Bandworld Online and it still contains full band arrangements plus extensive audio and video. As a subscriber, you’ll have access forever to over 40 issues of useful material as we add 4 issues each year. One thing that hasn’t changed: Our purpose is to help you build better bands.
Our now annual fall printed issue of Bandworld is coupled with an online area where the complete versions of each and every one of the 14 useful article samples and 2 band arrangements increase these 48 pages to nearly 200 online. The com- plete set of pages for every one of these items is available to you FREE at www.bandworld.org/free.
