The Jenison Invitational is only 6 days away! This is the largest competition in the state and it lasts from the wee hours of the morning until late into the evening. The first half of the day is Scholastic competition and the second half is MCBA. Forty one bands compete throughout the day. If you are volunteering (and you should be because it's required) you get in FREE!!! I encourage you to stay and watch some of the bands. I always love to see Petoskey's show (1:15) which is always creative and their drum line is amazing.
Jenison performs twice in exhibition (1:45 & 9:30pm). Although we are not receiving awards, we are judged and scored and the directors receive feedback just like every other band competing. Our competition time at State finals is based on the average of our two best MCBA competition scores and the Jenison Invitational score is very important for us. So although we aren't "competing," we are definitely still competing. The flight II band with the best average of MCBA scores play last in their flight at state. We are only competing in two MCBA competitions this year: the Jenison Invitational and the Westshore Invitational on Oct. 29.
