Due to the impact of COVID-19 on student participation in the performing arts nation wide, to better serve our members, NJMBDA has voted to reclassify its competitive groups to avoid over crowding and fair competition. These changes are no reflected in our rule book and can be seen here!

NJMBDA has teamed up with Arts Ed NJ as the affiliated organization for marching band in the state of New Jersey. As NFHS's affiliate for the performing arts for NJ, Arts Ed NJ will collaborate with NJMBDA on the development of supporting materials, policies, marketing support and professional learning opportunities for NJMBDA member directors.

Who are we?

The New Jersey Marching Band Directors Association is a volunteer organization providing performance opportunities for all New Jersey marching bands, governed and facilitated by participating directors. We seek to expose all marching bands to the highest level of musical/visual adjudication, that ultimately fosters educational growth for our students, staff, and community at large. We fervently believe that all bands, regardless of size, budget, and resources, deserve the best possible performance and judging experiences. We are whole-heartedly committed to fiscal responsibility, as we keep requisite fees low, while simultaneously providing an infrastructure where host bands can have a successful fundraising experience.

Education.

Excellence.

Equality.
