That’s a wrap! NABBA 2026 will go down as an unforgettable experience for the band. Through the hard work of our incredible players, and the unparalleled mind and leadership of Philip Harper, we left everything on the stage and walked away with a performance we were proud of.

A special shoutout to the incredible work that our own music director, Mark A. Taylor did leading up to Philip’s arrival. Without him, the band would not be where it was this weekend.

Congratulations to our friends at Dallas Brass Band, Fountain City Brass Band, and Five Lakes Silver Band on their podium finish!

Official recordings of the performances will be made public at a later time, but you can listen back right now through these links!

CBB’s Solo Euphonium player, Bryce Bowlin, gave great advice at a panel alongside other members of the Fountain City and JMU brass bands. Attendees learned much from their astounding insight on how each instrument in a brass band functions, and how to function as a brass band member in any chair!
