Home > Featured Events > Fiesta Bowl Parade and National Band Championship
Entering its 32nd year, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Fiesta
Bowl National Band Championship presented by University of Phoenix is
one of the longest running events in the Fiesta Bowl Festival of Events.
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 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 44 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 Results
