Earlier this year, the Washington Area Music Association celebrated its 25th Wammies Awards ceremony at the State Theater. Although the wrangling over WAMA’s nominations and winners for its awards seems to be a yearly phenomenon — also calling into question the relevance of the organization itself — the association’s 25-year staying power is at least a small testament to the group’s nook in the city.

Now that we’re celebrating another anniversary this extra long weekend, you’ll have plenty of time to watch this 15-minute video documenting WAMA and D.C.’s music scene for the past 25 years. The archival footage and live performances alone make it worth a look.
