The Mid-Iowa Band Championship, held at the Ankeny High School Stadium in
Ankeny, Iowa, is one of the most prestigious events of its kind. In its
22 years of existence, the contest has grown to include over 30 bands
from as many as seven states. Each year, an audience of 5,000 to 7,000
people has been thrilled to see many of the Midwest's finest bands.
Participation is on an invitation basis with invitations issued to those
seeking to participate in an event of this caliber. The four classes of
competition are based upon school size and use a six-judge system including
some of the finest input for participating bands available anywhere.
The Ankeny High School stadium is a 5,000-seat facility that also hosts a
DCI event each summer.
