Welcome… I’m Mac Miller, the owner of American Band Instrument Service, and I truly do want to welcome you to our store.

As you can see by our front page, bandusa.com is a division of American Band Instrument Service, which is the name of our local store. American Band Instrument Service is situated in a stand-alone building in the middle of the largest shopping area in East Texas. We have nearby coffee shops, dance studios, photographers and other fine arts type businesses.

As our customer, you are naturally more interested in our people. Every person in our organization is a musician and we are all dedicated to being as helpful as possible to other musicians. Each of us has been a part of a school band program, and we understand the wants and needs of band directors and musicians. Public schools are our stock-in-trade and we have developed a service philosophy that is committed to making the band director and student musician's jobs as easy as possible.

Over the past few years we have developed a following of professional musicians in major cities throughout the country that send us their instruments for professional quality repair. This part of our business has grown exponentially for the past few years by “Word Of Mouth”. It seems that nothing helps repair sales more than one professional musician telling another about a great repair shop.

Our store has several private teaching studios. Unlike most stores, we don’t charge for the use of these rooms. We believe this is part of the service we strive to provide our directors, teachers, and customers. Our “American Band Music Education Center” is available to our private teachers for recitals.

We have many special events, along with several smaller events, in our American Band Education Center, which is a rehearsal or meeting hall that is attached to our store. We have a “Duel of the Drummers” contest that also includes clinics for percussion students. We have our “American Band Idol” contest, which allows wind instrument players to compete in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. The East Texas Jazz Orchestra uses this facility for their rehearsals, and sometimes performances.
