The Dobyns-Bennett Band Boosters and the Kingsport Convention and Visitors Bureau invite your band to participate in the second annual Tennessee Valley Showcase Marching Band Competition. The partnership between the KCVB and the Dobyns-Bennett Band Boosters and the support of the City of Kingsport ensures your band will have a great experience and a large crowd for your performance.

The event offers the atmosphere of a local competition with the judging panel of a regional or national event. The date of October 18th makes the Tennessee Valley Showcase a great opportunity to receive a first class evaluation at a date early enough to improve your show before the remainder of your season.

Kingsport is an ideal place for a band competition with convenient and affordable accommodations and amenities. Your band will experience world-renowned hospitality, which has become a standard for events hosted in Kingsport.
