	The 21st Annual Odessa Marching Invitational will feature a separate parade competition, field competition, indoor guard, and indoor percussion competitions. The field competition will be judged by a mixture of strong regional and national adjudicators. Classification is determined by school size and will be dependent on the number of entries received. Registration discounts will be offered to bands participating in other circuit festivals! Our circuit includes the Odessa Marching Invitational, Smith-Cotton Invitational (10/04), and the Royal Regiment Invitational (10/18). An overall Grand Champion will be named based on TOTAL scores across all four categories of competition. Each band will receive a clinic immediately following their Field Show Performance! We will have 2 separate award ceremonies, one for White and Red Class and another for Black and Gray Class. These ceremonies will take place immediately after those classes have concluded. Grand Champion and overall captions will be awarded at the final award ceremony of the night! ***REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED*** Click to Register
