The A-State Open is a marching festival for high school bands which strives to provide the highest quality feedback to best prepare bands for region and state assessment. We aim to bolster a positive marching band culture, encourage growth, and help bands attain success in their assessments.
Band Size: Same classification as ASBOA.
The 2025 non-refundable entry fee is $250.00. Directors can choose to pay $100 for a 1-hour clinic with Dr. Fisher, Randil Jeffreys (Cavaliers visual designer) and the A-State marching band leadership prior to their performance. Clinics will have a limited number and will be first come, first served. Registration will be open from August 4, 2025 until spots are full.
