  • Marching is NOT required of high school students; concert bands are welcome to join us!
  • At least one music educator MUST accompany band student participants.
  • Music does not need to be memorized for the performance; students may use lyres on the field.
  • Sheet music will be provided for free.

Due to field capacity registration is limited. All bands who register will be invited to participate on a first come, first served basis.
