Welcome to the Colorado Bandmasters Official Webpage
The Colorado Bandmasters Association believes that marching
band is just one aspect of
a quality high school band program. The marching band should
be based upon
educationally sound music principals of individual
musicianship, ensemble music
performance as well as the visual elements of movement,
choreography, and drama.
The role of competition is to provide an educational tool to
help develop musicianship,
self-motivation, group discipline and the learning of life
lessons. Competition holds all
accountable for their role in education. It also provides
the opportunity for students,
directors, staff and parents to celebrate those who achieve
the highest levels of
musicianship and artistry.
It is important to keep competition in perspective with the
responsibility of
directors/staff to educate the students. When these
objectives are not the primary
goals of a program then marching band ceases to be
educationally valid. While CBA will
not approve, reject, or censure program content, it is
expected that all shows will be in
good taste and respect students, schools, and the CBA
audience.
The Colorado Bandmasters Association seeks to provide
marching band events for
students and directors that will enhance their competitive
experience with quality
judging and performance venues.
