This highly competitive event featured twenty two high school and middle school parade bands in 2010 and promises to be even larger this year.

Judges from the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association (SCSBOA) will evaluate performances for both high school and middle school bands, drill teams, auxiliary units, and drum majors.

The picturesque tree-lined parade route in the beautiful Woodcrest neighborhood in Riverside, California begins on Cole Avenue at Krameria Avenue, marching north on Cole to Bergarmont Drive, with the competition area near the intersection of Cole Avenue and Kinnow Lane. A large public park directly across from the judges’ stand provides plenty of area for spectators to see the competition free of charge.

Please join us October 22 to see and hear some of Southern California’s very best competitive parade bands, including defending Sweepstakes winners, Glendora High School and Palm Desert Charter Middle School.

The Riverside Kingsmen Band & Color Guard are hosting their 6th annual golf tournament at Moreno Valley Ranch golf course. The day begins with checkin at 6:15am, followed by a putting contest at 7:00am, and the main event starting at 8:00am. Please visit the events section to learn more about this fun event.

Update: We still have spots available! If you would like to participate in the tournament please sign up.
