Friendship Cup

The Friendship Cup is a competitive circuit for high school marching bands in the Rocky Mountain Region. Unlike CBA Sanctioned shows, The Friendship Cup competitions allow bands to compete with other similarly-sized bands, not based on school classification (meaning the bands compete with similarly sized bands as opposed to similarly sized high schools). Ralston Valley falls into the AA Class (41-70 performers) according to the Friendship Cup classification system for 2025. 

The Friendship Cup is offering three different events in 2025. RV is attending the Eaton High School event, which is a traditional prelims/finals format where every band will move on from prelims to finals.
