Welcome! This is going to be an exciting 2008 Marching Band season as we prepare for the 2nd Annual Osseo Marching Band Festival! We want you to be a part of this fantastic performing arts competition in Osseo, Minnesota. 

Osseo Marching BandOur 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.

·         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.

·         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 1st, 2nd and 3rd 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 or send a request to:
 
Osseo Band Boosters - Band Festival Committee

Pictures should be in 300DPI or higher and Band History should be in a popular word processing format (DOC, RTF or TXT). Pictures will be returned in the check-in packet.
