| The 2013 edition of the Preview of
Champions will take place on Saturday, September 28,
2013. The Preview of Champions is an independently run
contest by McKendree University and will feature top
notch adjudicators and clinicians! The competition
schedule will be based on the number of entries with an
early evening awards ceremony. Bands who attend another
competition elsewhere are extremely welcomed to attend,
just let us know of your schedule.
McKendree University is 25 Minutes from downtown St.
Louis, located conveniently between interstates 55/70
and 64. Bands will compete on a lighted, Game Day turf
field, in classes based on number of instrumentalists.
Awards are given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each
class and a Grand Champion Award. Caption awards for
Outstanding Percussion, Color Guard, Music, and Visual
are also given in each class. After each bands
performance there will be a video review and clinician
comments. An indoor director and staff hospitality room
overlooking the field will also be available.
