Below is a list of winners (band, perc, guard) from the last 10 years of the Bandmaster's championship. In my opinion, it's a little silly that so much of the focus seems to be on the overall contest winner. There are so many other examples of success that I think this will highlight. I have no association at all with Northpoint Christian school (formerly SBEC), just to be clear, but their success at this contest should be noted! I'm not sure if people realize what they have accomplished in 3 different classes. There's more than just Munford who has had success here!
I appreciate what the folks at the University of Memphis have done with this contests. It definitely is the best contest in West TN. I just wish we would keep better track of history! If you want groups to keep coming back year after year, I think you need to help build some legacies by INCLUDING this information in your program and website. The class history is important, as are the captions! Let's do a better job CELEBRATING the rewards earned by the hard work of our band students both past and present. This is only the previous 10 years, and if anyone wants to help with everything prior, I think we could develop something that everyone would appreciate. '
I tried hard to make this information accurate, but if anyone sees something wrong, please let me know. Feel free to forward this to whoever might find the information useful.
