The competition will be spread over two days, Friday and Saturday. The preliminary competition will start Friday morning at 7:15 a.m. and conclude on Saturday with a special exhibition performance by North Carolina State University’s The Power Sound of the South at 3:15 p.m.
Performances will be evaluated by a panel of nationally recognized music educators and marching band experts. The 14 highest-scoring bands will advance to the evening finals, starting Saturday at 6:30 p.m., with the top-scoring band named champion at the end of the night.
“Marching band is even more than music and performance; it’s a powerful experience that builds discipline, teamwork, and lifelong memories,” says Dr. Jeremy Earnhart, President and CEO of Music for All, the parent organization for Bands of America. “Participating in Bands of America Championships takes that to the next level, challenging high school students to strive for excellence, showcase their talents on a national stage, and feel the pride of being part of something truly extraordinary.”
Along with the Army ROTC, the 2024 Bands of America Indianapolis Super Regional Championship is also sponsored by Yamaha.
The Bands of America Championships season includes 30 events across America, culminating with the Bands of America Grand National Championships Nov. 14 to 16, also at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
