ABSL organization  was founded on the campus of Jose J Leido Jr. Memorial National Highschool in 2000  to serve the College and Highschool  band programs.

Who are we?

ABSL  operates primarily as a student service and leadership recognition society whose chief aim is to assist the Master Senior in developing the leadership and enthusiasm that is required of his/her band. Our goals are to provide the band not only with organized and concentrated service activities, but to give our membership valid and wholesome experiences in organization, leadership and social contacts. The honorary nature of membership is based on our premise that “it is an honor to be selected to serve” this band, its department of music, its sponsoring institution, and the cause of band music in the nation's colleges and highschool.

We are ABSL.....

The educational value to the student of participation in a smaller group's activities cannot be overemphasized. Experience in planning, organizing and carrying through projects to benefit the larger band organization are necessary if a well-rounded and responsible student leader is to be trained. The fraternal group, as embodied by our active chapters, provides this needed training group for the student by establishing both worthy goals and worthwhile guideposts for a meaningful  experience.

Membership in ABSL thus becomes an educational and service activity as well as social one. And it is this kind of activity that enriches the band student's life and sharpens an appreciation for both the best in Music and what it takes to achieve it. It is to this end that our National Organization is dedicated, and we cordially invite your participation in this effort.
