Entering its 31st year, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Fiesta
Bowl National Band Championship is one of the longest running events of
the Fiesta Bowl Festival. The event has earned a reputation as one of
the most prestigious high school marching band competitions in the
nation. Eight bands advance from the preliminaries to the
evening finals where bands compete for the Grand Master's Trophy.
The field championship is held in conjunction with the Fort McDowell Fiesta Bowl Parade presented by Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, the only major bowl parade where bands are judged. Held in downtown Phoenix, the 2008-2009 parade will feature bands from across the nation as they represent their hometowns and states. Throughout its history of excellence, the Fiesta Bowl has hosted marching bands from 36 different states. Adjudicators for the parade and field events are highly-rated high school directors who have built quality music programs in their own communities. The field show is held in the University of Phoenix Stadium, a state-of-the-art facility located in Glendale, Arizona. The stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and features both a retractable playing field and retractable roof. 2008-2009 Participating Bands
