About the Event
The Florida Brass Band Festival is a premier educational event happening February 2026 at The Cypress Center for the Arts, located at Windermere Preparatory School, near Orlando. This festival invites brass band ensembles from across the Southeastern United States to participate in a vibrant celebration of music.
The 2026 Florida Brass Band Festival (FBBF) is a non-competitive showcase for British-style brass bands, organized in collaboration with the North American Brass Band Association (NABBA). With education as a primary focus, there will be masterclasses, full band coaching sessions, and multiple adjudicators, providing NABBA-style scoring and comments. Although there will be no band rankings, some recognition and awards will be presented, as an option for participating bands.
