The 49th Annual Jeffco Marching Festival is an exhibition-style format with judges providing commentary and feedback. There is a Drum Major retreat and acknowledgment of the bands at the end of the evening, but no scores. Scores and feedback are given to the music director following the exhibition. This is a Colorado Bandmasters Association-sanctioned festival and will follow all CBA rules and guidelines.
We will need volunteers to help move props and pit instruments on and off the field, uniform helpers, and food donations for dinner. Click here to volunteer!
