Welcome to “Band Directors Share!” A site where the content is dictated and provided by YOU!

BDS is a site where band directors can submit materials as well as videos of short presentations in their area of expertise. There are no guidelines for materials, as long as they are free.

This site is completely free! The site currently has many free instructional videos (for teachers and students alike), an instructional series about teaching rhythm, free flashcards, 25 free full band compositions, a (great) free method book, a website about recruitment, links to band websites with free materials, links to blogs and podcasts, and much more!

In 2019, through donations to this page, we were able to raise enough money to hire a full time instrumental music instructor in a 70 student orphanage in Honduras! We are not only sharing with one another, but with the world. Check out the "donate" button to help keep this program going!

“Preparing to be a first class band director is a never-ending life-long journey. Eric Combs has created a wonderful source that opens a stage-of-infinite possibilities for anyone/everyone to access. The road signs contributed by members of the profession with tried-and-true data are certain to be a valuable resource to all. BRAVO!”
