The Youth In Music Championships have quickly become one of the premier marching band events in the Midwest. The 2021 field contest was one of the biggest in the event's history, with 35 high school and university bands from Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Nebraska. The YIM Championships will be held in the new U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. Join us on Saturday, October 8, 2022 for the eighteenth annual event.

As in past years, special guest units will perform in exhibtion throughout the contest. The 2021 guest lineup included the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blugold Marching Band and the University of Minnesota Pride of Minnesota Marching Band.
