The Festival of Champions is a high school band
competition that is in its 7th season, continuing
the 23 year tradition of excellence established by
Music Bowl Missouri. The University of Central
Missouri, Meyer Music and the Ararat Shrine Temple
of Kansas City host the competition that includes 32
high school bands from across the Mid-West, with up
to 7 additional high schools participating in just
the Drumline/Auxiliary competitions. The average
attendance has been 8,000 consisting of families of
the participants, area band enthusiasts and much of
the local community. The profits are used to offer
scholarships to the University of Central Missouri
students, with a portion donated to the Ararat
Shrine Temple Hospital Transportation Fund, which is
used to fly severely burned children to their
hospitals for treatment.
UCM is also hosting a
summer music camp and a
summer guard camp for those organizations and
individuals interested in additional top-flight
instruction from UCM faculty and other clinicians.
