Every spring, this festival invites high school concert bands from across Oregon and Washington to participate. It's a great way to meet fellow musicians, practice, and further train for live performances. Everyone receives feedback from judges. Participants can choose to receive comments or ratings using the Oregon Band Directors Association Band Evaluation System (OBDA). Participating bands also have the option to engage in 30-minute clinics or sight-readings — just like in League and State Championship competitions.

The Band Festival is a state-qualifying invitational event, allowing schools with the required scores to submit their performance for consideration in the tape pool for the OSAA State Band Championship. Please note that this festival is not a competition against other schools. There will be no winner at the end of the day. This is a chance for your band to perform in our concert hall with OBDA-Certified Adjudicators in a supportive environment.

Each band receives a high-quality digital recording of their performance as well as recorded and written comments from our adjudicators. These will be sent to you via email the day after the festival.
