Events
Each event is scheduled by a bidding process which begins several months before the start of the competitive season. Considerations for awarding an event include available personnel, host experience and facilities. All events are operated financially independent of the circuit, and each event host is responsible for accommodating the visiting bands, spectators and adjudicator travel needs. Each host is required to pay a fee to the circuit if they are awarded an event. The host for the annual Marching Band Championships is chosen based on the largest available facility and rotates among several sites.
The circuit's responsibilities at sanctioned events are to manage the flow of bands in competition, be available for any administrative needs, and to provide adjudication and tabulation.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.”
