We cordially invite your group to perform at the 14th annual Normal Marching Band Invitational at Illinois Wesleyan University!


This is an afternoon/evening show in IWU's Tucci Stadium, a great venue with artificial turf. Classifications are determined by band size. Each group receives a placement trophy, and caption awards/grand champion awards are also presented. Directors are invited to our hospitality room and also receive recorded adjudicator comments and a video of their group's performance. We provide a question/answer session with the adjudicators so that you can receive face-to-face feedback and ask questions about your band's performance.
