We cordially invite your group to perform at the 14th annual Normal Marching Band Invitational at Illinois Wesleyan University!

 

This is an afternoon/evening show in IWU's Tucci Stadium, a great venue with artificial turf.  Classifications are determined by band size.  Each group receives a placement trophy, and caption awards/grand champion awards are also presented.  Directors are invited to our hospitality room and also receive recorded adjudicator comments and a video of their group's performance.  We provide a question/answer session with the adjudicators  so that you can receive face-to-face feedback and ask questions about your band's performance.  There is a noncompetitive option for groups that wish to receive feedback without being scored.
