Malaysia World Band Competition (MWBC) was initiated in 2009 and is open to all marching/show bands regardless of the nature of music, performances and type of bands. This inaugural event was the first of its kind whereby the event was organized in two different states within Malaysia. The combined support from Government and Private Sectors have encouraged youths in participate in this carnival-atmospheric competition.

Starting from year 2010, The MWBC model will be extended to the following respective countries – Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand & South Africa. The respective countries event organizers will promote and organize band competition involving the participation of community and school band throughout their country.

The selected winners from the competitions from each countries mentioned above will participate in the Grand Finals for the elusive “World Band Champion” honor. This will be known as “THE WORLD BAND CHAMPIONSHIP (WBC)”. This is a brand new championship and in the coming years, the number of participation is expected to be expanded globally to other countries, representing from five different continents.

Hence, this sets the stage for the emergence of the FIRST WORLD BAND CHAMPIONSHIP, which is the brain-child of ZI Production Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian Incorporated Company who is specialized in organizing band competitions.
