Yoakum ISD is proud to host the 12th Annual Bulldog Band Invitational on Saturday, May 4, 2024. This contest is designed as an opportunity for positive feedback for younger players.
Solo and Ensemble Contest: Awards will be given for 1st Division, 2nd Division, and Outstanding Soloist. There are no specific music or accompaniment requirements. If you will require a piano, please let us know ahead of time.
Full Band Contest: Our stage will accommodate bands up to about 50 students comfortably. Our Beginning Band of 90 squeezed on the stage for one of our concerts, but it was not ideal! If you have a large band or large amounts of percussion, please contact me to make sure we can accommodate you. There will be one judge for Concert and Sight-reading. The Sight-reading portion of the contest is optional, but highly recommended. You can help us pick the right level for your band to Sight-read. Trophies will be awarded for 1st Division performances. Sweepstakes trophies will be awarded to bands with a 1st Division in Concert and Sight-reading.
We look forward to your band joining us this year. Please complete the registration form and mail along with your check. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, special scheduling requests, or to discuss our Covid protocols.
Events available: - Solo: $6 - Small Ensemble: $6 per ensemble member - Full Band with Sight reading: $250 - Full Band without Sight reading: $250
