Classifications

Tournament of Bands provides a range of opportunities for scholastic marching bands to receive analysis and educational feedback.

Directors can choose to join the association and compete in the OPEN CLASS, which is the traditional competitive arena for experienced groups and staff.
New directors, staff members, and marching bands can select the A CLASS as the competitive arena, where basic skills and technique are emphasized in the developmental stage.
Many directors from non-competitive bands may choose to participate and receive feedback and a rating (Gold/Silver/Bronze) based on the FESTIVAL CLASS criteria.

Additionally, bands are separated into four group sizes based on the number of musicians/auxiliary members.
