CONGRATULATIONS ON A SUCCESSFUL MARCHING BAND SEASON!
|
We're proud of all of our region's programs and the manner in which participating students have been trained to perform. Each season is about the determination and commitment each performer makes to themselves, and each other, which drives them to perform at their very best each week. The instruction and leadership in each performer is evident in the way they perform on and off the field and as their support system, we should all be very proud of their accomplishments. Congratulations to all TIA-11 marching bands on another successful and outstanding outdoor season.

How Can My Band or Indoor Unit Join TOB/TIA?
Tournament of Bands (TOB) and Tournament Indoor Association (TIA) provide a competitive arena for marching bands, indoor guards, twirlers, percussion and dance teams, as well as for jazz bands, choral groups and other related units. TOB/TIA contests are held annually in 9 states throughout the mid-Atlantic region where 13 regions are created geographically for local contests. West-central Pennsylvania is designated as the Allegheny Mountain Region 11. From September through October, marching bands will have the opportunity to perform in contests throughout the chapters. The number of musicians (or auxiliary, whichever is highest) is used to determine the group size. Bands can elect to compete in the Open Class (traditional TOB scoring), A Class (new bands or staffs), or Festival Class (Ratings only). Indoor ensembles perform from January through early May. Please view www.njatob.org for guidelines and classifications of color guard, twirlers, dance teams and percussion ensembles. An annual membership fee of $100 entitles ALL of your school or organization units to participate without additional costs for the year! A one-time fee for performance bond is allocated to each unit.
If you have any questions or are interested in obtaining more information about joining TOB/TIA, please email Doug Williams, Allegheny Mountain Region 11 Coordinator.
