For the best experience of our students and spectators we will be keeping this event to approximately 18 groups. These spots are on a first come, first serve basis and will be closed once we reach our performer limit. Bands will perform in their class in the order in which their bond and registration check were postmarked. The online registration IS required, but the postmarked check will secure the performance position.
