Hurricane Pride Invitational Marching Band Festival

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 17th annual Hurricane Pride Invitational Marching Band Festival. The Festival will be October 1, 2011 at Citrus High School in Inverness, Florida.

"HPIMBF" is one of the longest running competitions for marching band in the State of Florida. We are a Florida Marching Band Coalition sanctioned regional, and have played hosts to some of the best bands in the state. Many schools use our early season show as a Springboard to their competitive season, culminating at the State Marching Band Championships in Tampa during the 3rd weekend in November.

Entries in the festival are in five classifications. Size will be determined by total wind players. The "Hurricane" Pride will be a Prelims/Finals format, and finals will include the winners of each class and the next five highest scoring bands regardless of class.

The festival will begin at approximately 10:00 a.m. beginning with the smallest classification and moving to the largest. Awards beginning after the last band's performance.

A variety of awards will be distributed, which include: Specialty awards, Superior Awards, Distinguished awards, and Festival Champion. Best in class awards will also be presented.

FMBC format of rules will be in effect for this festival.

We hope that you will join us in Inverness this Fall for this FANTASTIC day of Marching, Music, and Pagentry!
