The purposes of the Harvest Marching Band Festival include:

• To showcase the finest High School Marching Bands in the Northwest
• To provide Bands and Band Directors with the highest quality judging and performance feedback
• To provide the citizens of Central Washington an opportunity to see the best of today's youth perform at the highest levels
• To provide the city of Yakima with an economic stimulus
• To support the Band programs of both A.C. Davis and Eisenhower High Schools

A few of the features that make the Harvest Band Festival special for Marching Bands:

• Results announced within ten minutes (five minutes in 2006-2012, 2016!!) of the completion of preliminary competition.
• Outstanding Trophies!
• Judging Review Sheets after Preliminaries and Finals that include the score sub-sections of each of the eight judging categories.
• Sunshine Guaranteed! (OK, OK - probably. But we can hope can't we?)
• For the record, it has only rained once during Harvest competition!
