Be it known that Tau Beta Sigma, National Honorary Sorority for members of the college band, is an organization operating exclusively in the field of college and university bands for the following purposes:
 

To promote the existence and welfare of the collegiate band and to create a respect and appreciation for band activities and achievements among the listening public everywhere.
 

To honor outstanding members of the band through privilege of membership, in the Sisterhood, extended in recognition of musical achievement, demonstrated leadership, and an enthusiastic approach to band activities.
 

To develop leadership through active participation with the band, and through it, to strengthen those traits of conduct, thought, and idealism which characterize the responsible membership of the band.
 

To encourage a close relationship between collegiate bands and to promote a high average of attainment by the performance of good music and selection of worthwhile projects.
 

To provide a meaningful and worthwhile social experience for all engaged in collegiate band work, and to cooperate with other musical organizations and societies in every manner consistent with our mutual purposes and those of the institution at which chapters are located.
