2024-26 Music Alignments Announced
While the number of schools competing at an area marching band contest is largely determined by the first division rating required to qualify, the 2024-26 alignment is projected to result in an improved statewide balance of number of competing bands at each site. For those area contests that have reached critical mass in recent years the 2024-26 alignment is projected to shorten the contest day, which improves contest logistics, helps facilitate an improved adjudication experience, and in the event of inclement weather delays better allow for both the preliminary round and final round to be completed.
