Youth In Music Marching Band Championships Nine years ago the Youth In Music Championships were just a dream and an idea. In those years the YIM Championships have grown from 9 to 20 bands and 1,400 to 6,000 in attendance. The YIM Championships have quickly become one of the premier marching band events in the Midwest. Join us on Saturday October 12, 2013 at the HHH Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN.

The 2012 event was great, with a large lineup of 20 bands from six states all performing in the 70-degree comfort of the indoor dome.

Special units will again present featured exhibitions during breaks in the contest. Last year featured exhibitions were presented by The 451st Army Band, Minne-Brass, University of Minnesota-Duluth Marching Band, University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse Marching Band and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blugold Marching Band.
