The Tenth Annual Harvest Marching Band Festival! Saturday, October 16, 2010 at Zaepfel Stadium in Yakima, Washington!!
The purposes of the Harvest Marching Band Festival are:
-
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 Davis and Eisenhower High Schools
A few of the features that make the Harvest Band Festival special for Marching Bands:
- Lined and Lighted Practice Fields.
- Music General Effect, Marching General Effect and Auxiliary judges use video cameras to record comments with visual references.
- Results announced within ten minutes (five minutes in 2006-2009!!) 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.
- Drum Majors judged by specialist, not by a judge of another category doing "double-duty"
- Sunshine Guaranteed! (OK, OK - probable. But we can hope can't we?)
- It has never rained during a Harvest Marching Band Festival!
