12TH ANNUAL TITAN MARCHING INVITATIONAL Hosted by the Papillion-La Vista South High School Titan Marching Band, this invitational is sanctioned by the Nebraska State Bandmasters Association and follows a prelim/finals format. The Titan Marching Invitational allows bands the opportunity to perform for and receive feedback from a nationally-acclaimed judging panel who have a background in adjudicating and working with DCI, BOA, and WGI groups. Attending this invite will include some of the most outstanding high school marching bands throughout the midwest. All bands will advance to the Finals Competition. There will be a critique session with the judges for the participating directors and staff in between Prelims and Finals Competition. During finals, there will be caption awards for best music, visual, effect, guard, and percussion along with sweepstakes ranked trophies for all bands. Omaha Street Percussion will perform before the Prelims Awards Presentation. TMI provides lounges for Band Directors and Staff and Bus Drivers where food and beverages will be provided. We also provide water for all students as they take the field. Bands who wish to perform as an exhibition or prelims only are encouraged to register. Bands of all classes and sizes are encouraged to attend as well. Being early in the season, judges are urged to focus their commentary in a helpful and forward thinking manner to help all bands improve. An additional tape for drum majors from one of the current Bluecoats drum majors will also be provided! Finally, all bands will receive a video of their performance via google drive from press box level, delivered via google drive within 24 hours of the contest concluding. We have a flat campus that is easy to negotiate, and plenty of room for prop trailers of all sizes. | |
