2017 Indoor Season News
2017 TIA Rules Congress (August 2016) for 2017 Season
TIA Rules Congress Proposals, TIA Rules Congress Proposals Report, TOB/TIA By-Laws Proposals Report
2016 TIA Atlantic Coast Championship floor cover
A note from Donna Stout, Director of Tournament Indoor Association...
Please distribute the attached immediately to your membership.
From 2016 Season
1) Independent units will be required to submit proof of insurance
2) Classification choice at the start of the season is up to director with the exception of the units that were promoted at the end of 2015 (see attached list) and Novice Class
3) Winds are officially part of TIA offerings (using WGI rules) -- see TIA rules for ACC requirements
4) TIA will be trying WGI entrance timing in 2016 -- be sure to read procedure -- this will be a big change for show hosts that are used to "air grams" since there is only 1:30 allowed to make this happen -- recommend not doing them and opt for candy grams or something else
It's time to begin preparations for the upcoming Tournament Indoor Association season here in the Allegheny Mountain Region. New units are still encouraged to join the association, register for participation in educational and competitive events, and travel to Wildwood, New Jersey, for the Atlantic Coast Championships.
Membership information for new and returning units can be obtained by contacting Doug Williams, TIA 11 Coordinator. Membership fees, rules and regulations, contest sign up privileges, and other important details will be provided.
While the traditional indoor activities (color guard, twirling, dance, and percussion) will have many opportunities to compete this season, TIA 11 also offers jazz band contests--Glendale will host in March. Additionally, TIA is providing an arena for the latest indoor activity, Winds, which is basically a marching band-like group which performs in the gymnasium. If any units are considering this activity, additional information will be forthcoming and you can receive it by contacting Doug Williams.
The 2017 TIA 11 indoor schedule can be found here.

How Can My Band or Indoor Unit Join TOB/TIA?
Tournament of Bands and Tournament Indoor Association 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. Originally, the TOB geography was divided into chapters and this area has been traditionally referred to as Chapter XI.
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 contact this website.
