Metamora Parade and Field Invitational
Metamora, Illinois
October 11, 2008

The 28th annual running of this contest features a great stadium for marching bands, and excellent well-rounded panel of adjudicators, and wonderful festival atmosphere throughout the day. The competition is one of the largest and oldest, continuous running, high school-sponsored competition in the state of Illinois. Attendees are usually drawn from Illinois, eastern Iowa, and western Indiana. Gary Smith, the former University of Illinois marching director will provide a complete overview of each band's performance. Bands receive a DVD of their performance along with adjudicator tapes. The parade begins about 2:00 PM followed by the field show at 3:30 PM with awards at around 10:00 PM. Judging sheets are similar to BOA.
