Cleveland Critique and Competition
Registration is Closed
The purpose of the Cleveland Critique and Competition is to provide both a learning experience and a competitive process for each band that participates. As bands are refining and preparing for the marching band season at this time of year the goals are twofold:
- Offer a critique process whereby directors have an opportunity to meet with an experienced judge and receive suggestions/comments in a face-to-face setting, and
- Provide a setting whereby registered bands can participate in an NCBA-sanctioned competition and experience the full benefit and experience of a sanctioned competition.
Registration is free until May 31. Starting June 1 registration is $100 per school. Registration is closed. Checks, made out to CvHS BPA, can be mailed to 65 Glen Rd, PMB 195, Garner, NC 27529.
