This height-of-the-season festival gives bands the opportunity to perform for nationally-recognized adjudicators in a world class performance venue. Memorial Stadium features a state-of-the-art FieldTurf performance surface and ample seating for spectators. Bands will compete in a prelims/finals format. The event will also include exhibition performances by the Marching Mizzou Drumline and “The Big M of the Midwest,” Marching Mizzou.
Registration, classification, and performance time assignments for participating bands are determined by the following guidelines:
This event is limited to the first 24 registered bands.
Bands will be placed into classes based upon school population as determined by the most recently available classification guidelines/assignments from the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA).
Classes with more than seven bands entered will be split into sub-groupings for competition.
Classes must have at least three entries for the top-scoring band to automatically advance to finals.
Classes with three or fewer bands entered may be combined into one class for prelims competition.
All bands that advance to finals will participate in open class competition.
Prelims competition scores will determine eligibility for remaining spots in finals competition (after those bands who automatically advance to finals).
Bands will be assigned prelims performance times within each division based first on 2023 Champion of Champions Finals results followed by registration date for all other bands that did not compete in the 2023 competition.
Finals performance times are determined by a randomized drawing following prelims competition.
