Setting a NEW STANDARD in MARCHING BAND CONTESTS.

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for considering the South Georgia Marching Band Championships. Our 2026 event is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026.

​

We are thrilled to welcome you to our newly completed Richmond Hill High School campus, home to a premier, state-of-the-art stadium designed to provide an exceptional experience for students, staff, and spectators alike.

 

The competition features:
   •    Professional artificial turf performance field

   •    A stadium PERFECT for marching band

   •    Gold and Silver Divisions & Class Championship Banners

   •    Senior Medals & Grand Champion Medals

   •    An insane number of trophies
   •    Ample, modern restroom facilities
   •    An in-stadium hospitality suite for directors
   •    Expansive seating capacity to comfortably host everyone

​

This will be a GMEA-sanctioned event, utilizing the Georgia Music Educators Association caption sheets and scoring format. Our adjudication team will once again include an experienced and highly respected panel—representing well over 200 combined years in music education.  Our goal is to provide fair, consistent evaluation and meaningful, educational feedback your students can use to grow. We are also excited to feature an exhibition performance from our very own Richmond Hill High School Wildcat Marching Band!

 

We anticipate a full and exciting day of music-making, celebration, trophies and memories.

​

If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to seeing you on October 24, 2026 for an unforgettable day of performance and camaraderie.

 

Sincerely,

 

Stephen Hendricks
