Band Cancellation Tracking

The thought of having marching band competitions in the spring just gave many band directors the vapors!

For a long time that was the norm in California, I don't know if it was ever common in the rest of the country. There was a Fall season AND a Spring season, band reviews, concerts, and field shows. The field shows started being dropped from Spring events in the 80s, IIRC, as DCI got more and more popular. Spring band reviews continued in the 90s and early 2000s, especially in NorCal. Now they are pretty much all gone, only one or two left.

Thx.  Updates have been made.  I also found a bit more information for WV and have added the link on the first post.

I've heard whispers of KMEA (Kentucky) possibly trying to do some form of competitive marching band in the spring. No real leads right now, but I know of a few programs who are looking into using this as recruitment opportunity, labeling it as a "recruitment show".

That's interesting.  I marching HS band in Southern California from 76 - 80 and then my sisters marched from 81 - 87.  We did field show competitions and band review in the fall and then concert festivals in the spring while drill team and flags did their own indoor competitions.  Not saying you're wrong, but we never knew anything about spring competitions.  Where were they?
