All sections are open, and some are already nearing capacity, so don't delay if you'd like to participate in a band of nearly 200 members and be seen live on national television marching through the streets of Philadelphia. Additionally, our members are often part of the closing ceremonies on the steps of the museum when Santa officially arrives!

You can join several other TOB-11 and TIA-11 members who have already registered for the 2019 ASMB.

All members of Tournament organizations who will be in grades 9-12 during the 2019-2020 school year are eligible. If your school pays a membership fee for the indoor season, then band members are welcome regardless of whether the band itself is a member. Additionally, members of independent indoor organizations are welcome to participate as long as the organization is a paid member of Tournament.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity!

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.
