IMPORTANT NOTICE (July 21, 2020):
After thoughtful conversations over several months with enrolled directors, educational consultants and advisors, and several state associations, Music for All has announced today that it is unable to present its 2020 Bands of America Championships due to the many challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was recommended by the Music for All staff and affirmed by the Music for All Board of Directors. We are facing uncertain and unprecedented times, and the health, safety and wellness of the students, band directors, staff, volunteers, spectators, and others associated with our programs remain our number one priority. With this extraordinary development, we share in the deep disappointment of the thousands of performing students, teachers, and supporters. Music for All remains committed to providing educational opportunities this fall. We are offering several remote evaluation opportunities in order to provide quality feedback from BOA adjudicators and MFA evaluators, and goal-oriented experiences to motivate and inspire students during this unusual time. Details on how to sign up for remote evaluation and virtual performance opportunities will be announced soon. Learn more at www.musicforall.org The Bands of America Grand National Championships is recognized as the premier marching band event in the nation. Bands from across America compete, including some of the finest, most progressive bands in the activity today. The annual event also features exhibition performances by outstanding college bands from across the country. Marching bands from 21 states performed during the 2019 event. The field competition features approximately 100 bands in preliminary competition on Thursday and Friday, with up to 36 bands advancing to semi-finals during the day on Saturday. Twelve bands advance to finals on Saturday evening. Special exhibition groups appearing in 2019 included Texas A&M University-Commerce, Jacksonville State University, Missouri State University and University of North Alabama. All performances take place in Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis.
