ANNOUNCING . . .

THE 2012 JMU PARADE OF CHAMPIONS

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20

The JMU Marching Royal Dukes are pleased to announce the 35th Annual JMU Parade of Champions.  Please join us for a full day of music education and the marching arts, with outstanding bands, and nationally-recognized adjudicators. 

After an exciting event last year in our newly renovated Bridgeforth Stadium with a record-setting number of bands and spectators in attendance, we look forward to another great contest this coming fall. Our new facility certainly makes the JMU Parade of Champions one of the most exciting events around. The new stadium boasts a seating capacity of almost 25,000 and includes 2 decks (perfect for viewing the performances), a state-of-the-art video board, club lounge and suites, a new press box and media complex, as well as an impressive new concessions area. When we combine these facilities with an incredible line-up of bands from the Mid-Atlantic, it can offer an exciting weekend for everybody involved!

For more information, please contact the JMU Band Office at 540.568.6656 or e-mail the contest director, Mr. Scott Rikkers at rikkersd@jmu.edu.
