The first National Music in Our Schools month took place in New York back in March 1973, and it’s been growing in popularity ever since. We recognize the importance of music education, so join us as we celebrate this important cause.

National Anthem Day commemorates the day the United States adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as its National Anthem. Written by Francis Scott Key, the “Star-Spangled Banner” became the National Anthem in 1931.

Meant as a day to build awareness around the ‘marching arts’, Marching Band Day is all about those upbeat, often cheerful bands which also happen to be moving around while playing.

The WBTF Athletes’ Commission aim to increase awareness and participation in our beloved sport of Baton Twirling world-wide, by celebrating our annual World Baton Twirling Day on April 10!

Our alumni organizations could not run without all of our amazing volunteers.

Celebrate our dance teams that add spirit and color to our bands.

Joel Day first established this holiday in 1979 while part of the Lower Merion High School Band. He and his fellow tuba player realized that their instruments simply failed to receive the respect and recognition they deserved. Little did he know that his efforts would result in a worldwide explosion of Tuba enthusiasm, with music being collected and performed that exalted the Tuba’s range and interest.
