SVSBA Music Library
SVSBA's music collections of over 4600 concert band and 2700 stage band pieces are available for any member band to review (online or in person) and borrow for band use.
Surplus Concert Band Music
"While supplies last" we are pulling out unneeded music and making it available free to SVSBA member bands, qualified nonprofits and area schools on request, to keep for their own collections. Many of these items are complete duplicates of sets we already have. See the latest list of offered pieces here. Items unclaimed 2 months after we post them may be disposed of without notice.

Stage Band Music

Browse and Download the Online Catalog
​
SVSBA's band music collection is cataloged in a spreadsheet that can be viewed online and/or downloaded and sorted by title, composer, arranger, etc. The spreadsheet shows whether the piece is "in" or what band currently has it, and whether it has been prepared for checkout. Pieces that have been inventoried ("SNI" in the Status column of the spreadsheet) are available for "instant" (~5 minutes) check out at the Music Library.
