About the Project
The Band Music PDF Scans website is a companion website to the BandMusicPDF Library. Both websites are
dedicated to sharing public domain band music. However, while www.bandmusicpdf.org contains fully
indexed and catalogued pieces, for expediency www.bandmusicpdfscans.org contains
pieces that have only basic indexing.
