Once again, it is time for the annual Showcase of Bands. It will again be an Ohio Music Education Association Adjudicated event. What this means is the event will be an official competition between the bands for a combination of ratings that qualify groups for STATE and then also ranks the bands according to placements. At the end of the evening, TROPHIES will be awarded to all participants. Because of the large numbers of awards, we would like to ask for donations to help purchase these trophies to help keep the cost down of running the event. In turn, anyone donating money for a trophy has the option of giving the trophy away to the band that it has been awarded. You may also choose someone to give it away for you. Our Showcase is on Saturday, September 25th. Please download the trophy form here.
