Entering its 34th year, the Fiesta Bowl Band Championship is
one of the longest running events in the Fiesta Bowl Festival of Events.
The event has earned a reputation as one of the most prestigious high
school marching band competitions in the nation. Eight bands advance
from the preliminaries to the evening finals where bands compete for the
Grand Master's Trophy.
The field championship is held in conjunction with the Fort McDowell Fiesta Bowl Parade presented by Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, the only major bowl parade where bands are judged. Held in downtown Phoenix, the parade will feature bands from across the nation as they represent their hometowns and states. View the 2011-2012 Fiesta Bowl Parade Lineup and 2011-2012 Fiesta Bowl Band Championship Schedule Throughout its history of excellence, the Fiesta Bowl has hosted marching bands from 44 different states. Adjudicators for the parade and field events are highly-rated high school directors who have built quality music programs in their own communities. The field show is held in the University of Phoenix Stadium, a state-of-the-art facility located in Glendale, Arizona. The stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and features both a retractable playing field and retractable roof. View the parade live in the Phoenix area on ABC15 or watch the taped webcast at www.abc15.com. 2011-2012 Results
