Entry Fees are $300 ($250 if registered by May 1). Admission to the festival is $10

The Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival has a rich tradition dating back to its inception back in 1971. The GSLMBF will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2023 on the campus of Belleville West High School in conjunction with the Belleville East and West Band Parents.  The deadline for entry is September 15, 2023.  

The entry fee for this year's festival is $300. An early registration fee of $250 will be in effect if you get you register by May 1.

Bands will be grouped by a combination of school size and band size. Bands will be split as evenly and fairly as possible once the entire field of bands has entered the festival and we will take into consideration a large number of a certain category (ie many large schools, etc...).  

Awards will be given in each class for placement as well as best Music, General Effect and Visual.

The Red and Blue Division Bands will perform in the morning/ afternoon with a separate awards ceremony. The Silver and Gold Division Bands will perform in later afternoon/ evening. 

Performance order will be determined by timestamp with the winning band set to go last in class. A separate email will be sent in the fall to determine classification of each band.
