The American Bandmasters Association was formed in 1929 by Edwin Franko Goldman (1878 - 1956) to promote concert band music.

The Association's Constitution (March 8, 1998) states that the organization shall:

• honor outstanding achievement by invitation to membership;
• work for progress toward an international band instrumentation
• encourage prominent composers of all countries to write for the concert band;
• by example and leadership further enhance the concert band and its music within our cultural heritage.^{[citation needed]}
