Osseo Marching Band Festival

Band Entry Info
(for Directors Only)

Welcome! We are excited to be working on the 5th annual Osseo Marching Band Festival - slated for June 25, 2011. And, we want your band to be p

art of this fantastic performing arts competition in Osseo, Minnesota.

Osseo Marching Band

Our motto is “it’s all about the bands” so some of the unique benefits we offer to participating bands are:

· Full 6-person judging panel – Ensure full attention given to each section of the band.

· Early Check-in Times – Check-in opens three hours prior to step-off.

· Festival Breakfast Buffet – Begins at 7:30am for those parents, friends and family that want to come to Osseo early. This is a Festival Fundraiser as well. The menu is phenomenal and delicious!

· Travel Stipend – Although we guarantee a travel stipend to the first 10 registered bands, usually all competing bands will likely receive the stipend to help offset expenses. For the last two years, we have proudly given all bands a travel stipend!

· Band Hosts – Each band is provided concierge service with an experienced band host who has direct radio and telephone links to the organizing committee. Our hosts assist with those extraordinary issues like offering tools to fix a prop or finding a spare pair of shoes.

· Caption Awards – In addition to the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place trophies and prize money, we also offer best overall color guard, drumline and winds trophies and a trophy for grand champion.

We also provide a post-performance refreshment for all competing bands and we can help with overnight accommodations, breakfast the morning of the competition or anything else your band may need. Just ask!

The first step in experiencing this new venue is to fill out an entry application on the web site. The entry application asks that you provide details of your band and its directors.

Performance order will be determined by random drawing. Classes will be assigned based on the information provided in the form.

All applications can be made on-line. However, to request a band application form by mail, contact Event Organizers
